There were a few chips that supported directly executing JVM bytecodes. I'm not sure why it didn't take off, but I think it is generally more performant to JIT

Or at least an emulator (for eSIMs). On example of a CPU arch used on JavaCard devices is the ARM926EJ-S that I believe can execute Java byte code.
