In the chip itself? No.

The packaging and interconnects often contain gold however.

  • Bond wires are usually aluminum, but sometimes gold is used instead.
  • Lead frames and pins are commonly gold plated to reduce corrosion.
  • etc.

There is a type of discrete bipolar junction transistor that is doped with gold, but as far as I have been able to find this is not used in ICs.

What was the first computer to use computer chips ( made out of transistors?

All computer chips have been made out of transistors, you cannot make them out of vacuum tubes. The first monolithic IC chip (see image above) was made at Texas Instruments in 1958 on a bar of germanium (not silicon), it was a simple audio amplifier. The first digital logic monolithic IC chips were built around 1961 or 1962.
