Abstract: A processor module comprises an integrated circuit component attached to a power interposer. One or more voltage regulator modules attach to the power interposer via interconnect sockets and the power interposer routes regulated power signals generated by the voltage regulator modules to the integrated circuit component. Input power signals are provided to the voltage regulator from the system board via straight pins, a cable connector, or another type of connector. The integrated circuit component's I/O signals are routed through the power interposer to a system board via a socket located between the power interposer and the socket. Not having to route regulated power signals from a system board through a socket to an integrated circuit component can result in a system board with fewer layers, which can reduce overall system cost, as well as creating more area available in the remaining layers for I/O signal entry to the socket.
