    Although Java's bytecode is normally not the machine code, there still do exist Java processors.

  • Hypervisors have never always been interpreters. Interpretation is of course necessary if the virtual machine as an instruction set that's incompatible with its host, but for same-architecture execution, even early hypervisors execute code directly on the CPU (you may be confused by the need for paravirtualized kernels, for CPUs without the necessary hypervisor support).
