Hah pretty cool stuff. Funny to think that about today's processors being thrown into bins like that.

Wait, the pins on old CPU are pure gold?

Back when Intel processors had pins... Most of those processors in that bucket in that video were the old ceramic ones. Processors with fiber boards (with pins) I believe contain much less gold content than those older ceramic ones. Pentium Pro chips are fairly valuable due to the amount of gold on them.
