Fujitsu for general purpose servers, and Atmel (maybe others too?) for rad-hardened Sparc.

That's how it's packaged prior to trimming and lead forming, which looks like this:

That is an interesting look. There's an 8 bit ATMEGA like that too: https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmegaS128

I wonder what that form factor with the chip suspended like that actually does for it.

Given that Fujitsu has jumped ship to ARM for their supercomputers I wonder if they'll be doing so with their other hardware as well?
