I highly doubt that cpu is the emitter. More probable is some long path on mother board, used for data communication.

Yes, it's the bus traces between CPU and RAM. From linked paper: "When data is exchanged between the CPU and the RAM, radio waves are emitted from the bus's long parallel circuits."
The CPU is comprised of millions / billions of transistors which switch on and off multiple times (which depends on the base clock frequency).
