IC design is largely a process of simulating and specifying the next generation of integrated circuits.

So in the strict sense, not only can a computer compute itself, but it can compute its (more capable) successor generation.

Practically, this now occurs in large server farms, so it takes a large number of computers to compute themselves and/or progeny. But this is very much what happens.
