As found in this Tom's hardware article:
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/this-amd-and-intel-vending-machine-is-literally-a-cpu-gamble
"You have to insert a 1,000 yen bill (roughly $10) to get a ticket. There's a 1-in-30 chance that the ticket will unlock a Zen 2 CPU."
That's certainly a novel way to unlock those clock multipliers...
