Globally, billions of microprocessors are produced annually. Assuming an average gold content of 0.2 grams per microprocessor, and estimating around 10 billion microprocessors manufactured each year, this would total approximately 2,000 metric tons of gold annually. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual amount can vary based on factors like processor design, market demand, and recycling practices. The gold used in electronics is often recycled from old devices, reducing the need for new gold extraction. The precise amount of gold in all microprocessors ever produced would require detailed industry-wide data.
