I recently watched the "scam necklace" video from LTT, and although the one shown in the video is obviously not worth the money, the design admittedly is pretty cool. Would LTT Ever consider making one of their own (for purely decorative purposes, no "wifi blocking" nonsense!)? Was thinking it'd be a great way to repurpose older or broken CPUs/Chips keeping them out of landfills. 

 

Saw this and although i don't think it's a traditional CPU it does look cool. I'm sure LTT could do their thing and put their own spin on it.

Keep in mind that I am sometimes wrong, so please correct me if you believe this is the case!

The right one is a real CPU btw (not sure about the left one), and this does look cool.
(Google Intel c8206 and you might find some similar looking pictures.)

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

For really old chips like that it's pretty easy to expose the die, unfortunately I doubt there are piles of these kind of chips still around and with newer flip chip CPU's (around Intel Pentium 2 and up) it becomes much harder and laborious to expose the die (see this video as example). Best case scenario is finding defective silicone wafers, but even then those can get recycled anyway.

i'd be down for a cpu keychain that's just an artistic interpretation of a CPU encased in resin.

dont need to actually source old/dead chips if you can just make a visual match instead.

 

on that note, just having pcbway or jlcpcb poop out vaguely cpu-looking PCB designs as a base part is probably like 90% of the way there, and you dont even need to fake the look of copper traces if they're actually copper traces.
