Integrated circuit socket with capacitors and shunts

A socket comprising:

• a plurality of socket pin openings to receive a plurality of socket pins on a package substrate;
• a capacitor on the socket, the capacitor storing an electric charge from a power source via a printed circuit board when the socket is connected to the printed circuit board;
• and
• a power shunt to provide a circuit from the capacitor to an integrated circuit device connected to socket, the circuit to carry an electric current from the capacitor to an integrated circuit device.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• an electronic assembly including:
• a package substrate;
• an integrated circuit die on the package substrate
• a set of package substrate pins on the package substrate;
• a socket defining a plurality of pin openings to receive the set of package substrate pins;
• a capacitor on the socket;
• a shunt to provide a circuit from the capacitor to the processor, the circuit to delivery an electric current from the capacitor to the processor;
• a system bus connecting the memory and the electronic assembly;
• and
• a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board having thereon the memory, the electronic assembly, and the system bus.
