Certain CPU's have micro-small wiring made of gold inside of them. Many IC's (integrated circuits/chips) do. But we're talking mabey picograms - very little.

To my knowledge, the pins usually are goldplated, (if we are talking about pentium/athlon/other recent series chips), and the threads that connect the pins to the actual chip are usually pure gold.

Mostly they are made of silicon.
There are some gold contacts inside.

They are made of silicon - that's why the San Jose area of America is called silicon Vally.
