True, at least in high end computers. Cray understood packaging -- as
far back as the CDC 6600 (1964) there is serious magic and serious
engineering in the packaging.
Indeed.
I used to work for the equipment engineering group that developed the
equipment supporting IBM's multilayer ceramic copper interconnect
packaging manufacturing process. It's an interesting process.
