Is a CPU or Micoprocessor technically a computer on its own, at least the basic form of a computer?

Or does a computer necessarily require more than just what the CPU can do, even in theory or pure definition?

The CPU cannot becalled a computer since its missing important things like ram, a bus, and peripherals.

However, a microcontroller is technically a computer on its own, since it has these things built into the chip.
