    This still makes no sense, because the gold wiring is a huge cost. Why dafuq wouldn’t current manufacturing encourage smaller packages? And there has been a push to make things thinner since ad memorium, so why wouldn’t they have made the die slimmer?

      You’re asking why they didn’t make the package thinner than like .1mm thick…?

      Or are you commenting on some sense of surprise that someone would want to make small things, or something? If so, not sure what you’re referring to.

        I’m saying there is no reason to say this microcontroller is vastly different from current products on the market.

          Sure there is.

          As far as I know this is the smallest full microcontroller package on the market. Which is what makes it interesting and why we are here talking about it.

          Are there others?
