You’ve seen the clever Japanese condiment packet, now check out a strange Gachapon capsule machine that dispenses Intel CPUs. These coin-operated vending machines typically dispense toys, but for just over $3 USD, you get a computer processor from this one.
YouTuber Sawara-San was fortunate enough to snag an Intel Core i7-8700 CPU, which at one time retailed for $300. Unfortunately, the CPU wasn’t factory fresh, as it showed display corruption during the Windows installation process, which points to CPU core failure. On the other hand, even with the issues, it still managed to run Windows and complete benchmarks like Cinebench. Want to try your luck? Head on over to 1’s PC in Osaka, Japan.
