CPU Gold Content

Gold CPU Recycling Yields And Values. Did you know that there is gold in many old CPUs (central processing units or chips) of old crappy computers? Did you also know that many people dont know about this or even care? This opens a big opportunity for canny gold investors to acquire a raw source of industrial gold at a fraction of the value of the gold contained in these CPUs. These CPUs can be found in dumped computers on the side of the road, at the local tip and are often given away for free at garage sales. The CPUs can be divided into three classes: VERY HIGH YEILD CPUS Have quarter of a gram or more per piece. HIGH YEILD CPUS Have from 1/20th of a gram up to quarter of a gram LOW YEILD CPUS Have under 1/20th of a gram Below I will give you a list of some of the CPU types and yields that are available, and put an approximate value on them using todays Australian dollar gold spot price: ($1440 per ounce $46.30 per Gram) VERY HIGH YEILD CPUS: NEC (server chip) 0.27g $12.50 per CPU

Toshiba (server chip) 0.27g $12.50 per CPU

AMD K5 0.50g $23.15 per CPU Pentium Pro (the holy grail of yields) 1.0g $46.30 per CPU ($56.50 at $1760 per ounce)

Cyrix 586 0.25g $11.58 per CPU IBM 686 PR200 0.25g $11.58 per CPU Original Intel Pentium 60Mhz 90Mhz 0.48g $22.22 per CPU
