A multi-socket circuit board chip bridging device is proposed, which is designed for use in conjunction with a multi-socket circuit board having multiple sockets and utilizing a special type of bus architecture, such as the HT (HyperTransport) bus architecture, for use to be mounted on a selected one of the sockets for the purpose of connecting one chip mounted on a first socket to another chip mounted on a second socket on the multi-socket circuit board. This feature allows manufacturer to utilize just one kind of circuit board for the implementation of a variety of multi-processor computer motherboards or hardware platforms having different number of processors, without having to design different types of multi-processor computer motherboards, thus representing a more cost-effective solution to the manufacture of multi-processor computer motherboards than prior art.
