A new class of processors has emerged for high speed hashing of crypto-currency numerical constructs. The paper examines package design for processors with multiple cores running at full speed continuously and requiring high current supply at low voltages. The work described in this paper is focused on package design for high-current, high-power devices with emphasis on PDN structures and package development using state-of-the-art design, modeling and simulation toolsets.
