With gold prices at £15-£17 / gram. Does this CPU have more than 3.5 grams in it?

I would bet it has considerably more in it.

Are you really sure it contains more than 3.5 g gold?

As you can see the pins aren't covered with gold, only the bonding between cores contains it. The large gold coloured metal carrier isn't gold at all Smile

£85 without the carrier? You're having a laugh! I wouldn't pay that if it was complete Smile
