CPU mining for Bitcoin became infeasible many years ago. You are competing with high end ASICs each of which is probably 1000000 x faster than a high end CPU at computing hashes for Bitcoin mining.

@KyoungwanWoo using a CPU to mine, you will spend money on electricity, but not ever generate enough hashes to get paid out anything whatsoever. So in that regard, it probably does matter to most people.
