Elmer, Re: "Why would this eliminate metal layers? I can understand how it could facilitate power and ground routing but many of those interconnects are for routing logic signals from one node to another. How does it eliminate these?" I don't know, entirely, since this is outside my area of expertise. However, I do know that modern processors contain a number of layers that are nothing more than power and ground planes (i.e. no logic what-so-ever). If the package improves power and ground connectivity, than it seems reasonable that a number of the power and ground planes can be removed. But then again, I really don't know how they are going to do it. I only have the article to go on. wanna_bmw
