If by "draw" you mean "convert a value at a memory address to a signal 
to be sent to a monitor", then no, CPUs don't draw anything, and AFAIK 
never have.

However if you mean "calculate pixel values that will be displayed", 
then the CPU "draws" in programs like POV and (apparently) in this demo.
