How much does a CPU (central processing unit) and server weigh on average?
I must estimate the weight for an e-waste event and have no idea how much the average CPU weighs. While we’re on it, how much does the average server weigh?
I would be incredibly grateful for any help on this!

The typical 32 bit or 64 bit CPU weighs a couple of ounces. (A CPU is an integrated circuit – it plugs into a socket on the motherboard.) A small 8 bit CPU can weigh well under an ounce (like the one in your cellphone).
A server (or desktop – they’re the same computer, just being used for different purposes) can weigh anywhere from a couple of pounds to many pounds, depending on the weight of the power supply, how many drives are in it, what other cards are in it, etc.
CPU’s are very light weight, like less than 1/4 lb. Servers range greatly since there are several different makes and models so there really isn’t an average.
CPU is indeed very light. A server (a normal one) is probably the same weight as a normal computer. (around 10kg)
