Randy - Re: " the actual processor is relatively much smaller than the
package size, is that right?"

Generally, the CPU chip is MUCH smaller than the physical package.
There are, however, microBGA (Ball Grid Arraa) packages that are available that are only somewhat larger than a silicon die - but these may not have enough pins for a Pentium-class CPU chip. Intel uses them for Flash memory devices.
