[ The PC Guide | Systems and Components Reference Guide | The Processor | Processor Physical Characteristics | Processor Packaging ] Tape Carrier Packaging (TCP) Intel has actually in the past made available certain chips in their raw form; a plastic roll with chips taped to them is sold to a system maker without any external packaging.
