It's called a silicone wafer. It's pretty much just a bunch of their next-gen processors in a big disc. Worth about a million dollars.

That round thing is a platter of chips. Each square (rectangle) is a chip.

that was a 300mm silicon wafer. Search for "Wafer_(electronics)" on Wikipedia for more information.

That's a wafer. They cut the dies from that.

@esponert105: That is a wafer. It started as sand. Then Intel turned the sand into silicon. The wafer is made up of 'dies' that become individual chips (microprocessors) when they are cut/sliced from the wafer and then packaged for your computer.
