Your computer, laptop, tablet and other electronic device contains a CPU.
The Central Processing Unit, is the brain of the device, and without it there is no function.
The first commercially available CPU was the Intel 4004, way back in 1971.
Since then, Intel has been joined by a variety of CPU designers and manufacturers of various computer architectures, such as AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Samsung and Motorola.
The domain name CPU.com was registered in 1990, making it one of the oldest 3-letter .com domains.
Its owner has listed it for sale on NameJet, with a reserve price in the $200,000 and $300,000 dollar range.
Currently, the auction has received 70 bids, the highest being $80,000 dollars.
The auction ends in 9 days, and if you want to participate, you’d need special clearance for that price range.
It’s a great name for a major CPU manufacturer to own – are you listening, Intel? 😀
