Pin Count vs. Package Size

Package square area vs package pin count.
The smaller the package footprint and the higher pin count indicate a more efficient IC package.
An informative graph showing the relationship between package style and pin count.
Note that the SMD DIP and QFP packages outperform the through hole DIP package.
The surface mount BGA package style also outperforms the through hole PGA package.

Basically the graph indicates that the surface mount DIPs [SOIC, SOP] outperform the through-hole packages.
Also that the surface mount BGA packages outperform the through-hole PGA packages, based on the size and pin count.
