Abstract
A stacked microprocessor package architecture includes one or more microprocessor packages, the microprocessor packages including one or more microprocessor die disposed on a substrate, a satellite die, a thermal bus thermally coupled to the microprocessor die and thermally connected to system cooling, and a power bus providing power to the microprocessor die and coupled to system power. The microprocessor packages may include a module cap providing mechanical protection and/or thermal isolation or a thermal cooling path for stacked modules. Variable height standoffs provide signal connection from substrates of the stacked microprocessor packages to a system board.
