Japanese Vending Machine Offers Intel Core i7 CPUs for $3

A unique vending machine in Japan dispenses potentially faulty Intel Core i7-8700 CPUs at a fraction of their market price.

Capsule toy machines in Japan, traditionally known for dispensing small toys, now include a machine offering Intel Core i7-8700 CPUs.
The CPUs, obtained for around $3, are older models and often come with functional issues, such as faulty cores.
Despite potential defects, the CPUs can still perform tasks like running Windows and completing benchmarks, offering significant value.
The machine is located outside a store in Japan that sells new and used PC parts, attracting tech enthusiasts and bargain hunters.
This unusual offering highlights Japan's innovative approach to vending machine contents, diverging from typical toys to electronic components.
