The gold involved is minuscule. So much so that it isn't really economic to strip it from the components.

Still rare rock extraction

No, gold isn't really anywhere near as rare as you've been led to believe. Just like diamonds. And no "rare rock extraction" is involved in making silicon chips. The claim carries no water at all.

No, no, they actually do use plenty of water, if I'm not mistaken, for cooling and such.

That doesn't carry it as the pipes have no bucket.
