Question, I have searched the archives and received a lot of different answers. What is Sun Sparq Ceramic pinless processors classified as? Would they be AMD ceramic? Intel/MAC ceramic? or are the really considered pinless price (10/23/15) $2.75/lb? If they are only considered at the pinless class why?

Thank you so much

The ones with the heatsink molded to the top go pinless because the tungsten sink weighs more than the cpu. (Removing the sink usually pulls the core die off giving you two almost worthless {to boardsort} pieces instead of one pinless cpu)

The ceramics without the caps i usually put in the amd ceramic pile. it's the closest match.

Fwiw the videos on YouTube only post the /one/ attempt that worked not the 10 that didn't. ;)
Using a punch to break the cap cracks the cpu. Using a heat gun or torch removes the die. And using a lighter and a razor results in fires and toxic smoke from the tar (same as roofing tar) even if you don't slice your fingers open.
I've honestly tried all the methods to get that cap off. Short of ball milling the whole thing nothing works at home. And boardsort doesn't buy gold mill sweepings.
