Central Processing Unit.
A CPU is basically the brains of your computer. Without a CPU, your computer would be an expensive paperweight.
I'm still running an Intel Celeron 500MHz CPU.
CPU is a standard term for Central Processing Unit, which is also called the Processor of the computer.
C.P.U. stands for Captured Penguins unite

Central Processing Unit. The 4th most important specification of a computer, behind: 1. Video Card, 2. Front Side Bus (connected to your CPU, but not the same)and 3. RAM (seep and size
"My goddamned celeron 2.6Ghz actually gives less performance than a PIII 800!!! WTF!"
Central Programming Unit. A piece of hardware located on your pentum motherboard that is used to combat people online to steal megahurtz. It does this by finding the IP of their hard drive
"No Blaezenfury, you use the CPU to steal megahurtz."
Today, often mistaken for the entire computer, case and all. CPU is NOT the entire computer but is the Central Processing Unit. It is the brain of computer executing tasks and telling the other components what to do. Mainly manufactured by AMD and Intel. the speed of the processor is measured in GHZ or MHZ (Gigahertz & Megahertz) for now anyway.
I recently upgraded my computers CPU from and AMD 2500+ (~1.8ghz)to a pentium IV 3.0 GHZ processor but I didn't notice much of a diffrence until I got some more RAM.
