Dec sold the LSI-11 and later chip based systems as microcomputers.
Source for this is the bindings of not less than 7 databooks and
technical descriptions. Also the T-11 member of the family is a single
40pin dip with one die inside.

If that werent' the case the fairchild F8 would not qualify as a single
chip CPU due to the need for multiple chips and the same would apply to
the predecessor to the RCA CDP1802.
