This bizarre CPU vending machine in Japan is a real silicon lottery.

Given that you’re handing over the equivalent of a handful of dollars or pounds for a handful of CPUs in some cases, those bits of silicon are likely to be ancient: the 486DX processor, a 33MHz beast that powered our first PC, was brought to mind here (though probably not that old, seeing as that’s now venturing into collectible territory).
I wouldn't be mad if I got one of those.

It's likely going to be mostly Intel chips anyway, as they'll just be the junk from the old leases that don't sell very well used, like early i3 models and celerons.
ID: hb7q1xnSurely the vending machine at hand will not be a mixed bag if the box art of each processors is not lying.
ID: hbbua5kI would expect tons of P4s and other "common" chips used in offices. Chips that have 0 collector value.

I'd pay £10 for one just for the fun of it.

Vending machine is a misnomer. It's a gacha. An IRL Lootbox dispenser.

Not as bizarre as the ones that dispense used women's panties.

Man just saw this on Twitter. It’s amazing

Putting bizarre, Japan, vending machine and silicon in the title i was expecting something else.

Are there any GPU vending machines there?

That's just speculation on TechRadar's part.
The video shows one package with what looked to me like 8 different CPUs. Seemed like old ones, but I'm too lazy to research and guess, and not knowledeable enough to know one by sight.
