Wow! Those are teeny! I've never seen microcontrollers that small. That'd make a pretty nice sized Arduino if Atmel made 328's that size.

Same Kliment from #reprap?

They do, more or less.

None of those come in a package nearly as small.

The data sheet claims that the ATtiny1634-UUR is 2.38x2.02mm, which to me does not seem all that much larger than the chips under discussion.

Ah, you are entirely correct. I didn't see the -U in the listing on Atmel's site, but it is indeed in the datasheet. The ball layout is a pain to route though, 0.4mm pitch.
