Yes. The pins that connect the CPU to the motherboard are made of gold.
There is approximately 15 grams of gold in a CPU. MM says - Oh please!
The plug in pins on most processors are made of gold plated aluminum.
That's kind of a stupid question, they all do
LGA : Land Grid Array <== pins are in the socket, no pins are attached on the CPU, only pads. PGA: Pin Grid Array <== pins are attached on to the socket, the socket has some sort of "holes" that hold the processor
4 pins
it depends on the cpu. I program microcontrollers that have as few as 8 pins, cpu's on motherboards have many more as they are required to interface with external devices such as memory busses. usually in excess of 200. more modern processors don't have pins, they have contact points which meet contact points on the mainboard. pins are a relative point of discussion but not necessarily factual.
LGA
yes it has gold in that
The gold arrow on a CPU typically points to the corner of a motherboard socket where it should line up. This is so the CPU is installed correctly.
No. They both have totally different pin sizes and amount of pins. Socket AM2 has a lot more pins, socket a has 462 pins.
Some pins on the microprocessors are gold, but not pure gold or solid gold, it is a gold alloy. Best way to find out is to bring it to a jewelry for a simple test of how much gold could be inside.
