This article was written by someone who only knows buzz words. They said it’s “not just the silicone, but the entire microcontroller” what do they think processors have other than silicone?
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?

They’re referencing the package as a whole, plastic casing, gold internal wiring, etc. and the silicon die in the center of it all.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no silicone at all in microprocessors but silicon.
