Methods, systems, and devices for cross point array architecture for multiple decks are described. A memory array may include multiple decks, such as six or eight decks. The memory array may also include sockets for coupling access lines with associated decoders. The sockets may be included in sub-blocks of the array. A sub-block may be configured to include sockets for multiple access lines. A socket may intersect an access line in the middle of the access line, or at an end of the access line. Sub-blocks containing sockets for an access line may be separated by a period based on the access line.
