Patent 7707350 was granted and assigned to Intel on April, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A front side bus swizzle mechanism modifies the front side (address and data) bus on a chip so that, when the chip is positioned on one side of a printed circuit board, connection to a second chip located on the opposite side of the printed circuit board is simplified. The simplified connection may result in less complexity and minimize the consumption of additional printed circuit board real estate.
