The problem is the cost to extract it.
From the wiki:
"Some models of Pentium Pro chips contain as much as 1.1 grams of
Gold. Because gold's price has increased more than 500% since 1995,
the price of the gold in one of these chips has gone from $8.25 to
close to $45 per chip."
Which models I don't know. Original price per chip must have been over
$1000, so $10 in gold would not have bankrupted Intel.
