I found one last week and was thinking it was an early DEC Alpha as it is missing the heat sink.
I disagree about popping off the heat sinks, doing so would lower the collector value. You have one with the sink off to show the gold plating. They seem to be pretty rare and may fetch a stupid price from a collector. I would list them one at a time to create a bidding war as dual listing under gold recovery and vintage. I would guess they could bring $50 to $100 each or more.

The Texas Instruments made Sun SuperSPARC CPU, introduced in 1992, is a SPARC V8 (32-bit) compliant RISC CPU that was used for Sun's SPARCstation 20/xx workstations and some servers during early to mid-1990s. It has an on-chip 20k 5-way set-associative instruction cache (which is very uncommon) plus an on-chip 16k 4-way set-associative data cache and runs at up to 60MHz.
