I wonder what went on in the AMD employee's mind when they packed this.
I can understand putting a 9800X3D in a tray and that in an envelope with bubble wrap.
But after that they put it, not inside one cardboard box, but two and both boxes are hugely oversized for their contents.
The final box size is almost hilarious to house a single 9800X3D.

Someone never got a VAX
I misunderstood as well! OP means the literal CPU, not calling the whole machine a CPU.
The original VAX cpu; was the KA780 central processing unit (CPU) is built from Schottky transistor-transistor logic (TTL) devices and spanned several 1U trays.
CPUs predate integrated circuits.
Tried looking that up and failed. Thanks!
Even the later smaller versions were multiple cards.

Only did the microVax versions fit on several ICs which were using the cutting edge process at the time.
