Is the white IC considered gold top? Also how does the solder on the legs of both effect value? Have way too many gold top ceramics and non gold top ceramics to clean hundreds of tiny legs so curious how that solder weight it factored in.

The silver colored cap is the part of the cpu that would need to be gold to be considered gold cap.

Solder will affect the grade more often than not.

I'll see if I can find anything on those specific ICs...

No solder looks like pentium/Mac ceramic would be most likely. But you have solder.

Does the white ceramic have gold legs. I'm forgetful, but didn't Shark Scrapper video say that Purple and White IC with gold legs are 386/486? I'll correct this if erroneous later when I have time to watch the videos again.

I referenced lost's list and gave my best guess.

From the info given and looking at the pics, they do have gold legs but have solder
