In most cases, no - a motherboard does not ship with a CPU. That said, if you're replacing your motherboard, you may be able to retrieve the old CPU from your previous computer (assuming it too is not broken and is supported by your new board).

Put simply, no. You have to buy a separate processor from a company like AMD or Intel. I prefer AMD's products, but both companies make nice products.
