What Are Ceramic CPU Gold Cap Processors?
Ceramic CPU Gold Cap processors are older-generation processors manufactured with ceramic bases and gold-plated lids. These CPUs are commonly found in legacy servers, industrial systems, and early desktop computers. Due to their high gold content, they carry significantly higher scrap value compared to modern fibre CPUs.
Common examples include:
• Intel 386, 486, and early Pentium ceramic processors
• AMD K5 and K6 ceramic CPUs
• Vintage server-grade processors
If you also have IC chips or mixed processors, view our dedicated
CPU & IC recycling prices in UK page for additional grading options.
