No. The CPU chips and all other active electronics devices must be radiation-hardened because they must operate in the presence of ionizing radiation of space. Only recently have they been able to produce Pentium CPU for space defense with Intel cooperating with Sandia Laboratories. Most of the CPUs in today's satellites are not using the Pentium CPU yet and are using proprietary and custom types that are not normally available in the commerical market. They definately are also not running Windows or Linux, but are using custom RTOS (Real Time Operating Systems).
