Abstract
The present invention provides a microprocessor, the microprocessor having a substrate with a first and a second side, the first and second sides being on opposite sides of the substrate. The microprocessor includes decoupling capacitors on the first side of the substrate; cache circuitry on the first side of the substrate; logic circuitry on the second side of the substrate; and a signal carrying means including a carrier substrate and wire bonds for carrying signals between the logic and cache circuitry.
