As long as the style is consistent, it doesn't really matter.

The general newspaper style is acronyms with periods use apostrophe to separate period from s. Therefore M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s are plural. Where period is not used in the acronym, the apostrophe is not used, so CPU not C.P.U., therefore it's CPUs. Anyway, it's just a convention, the key is consistency.

Is this mentioned in any particular newspaper style guide that a general member of the public can get their hands on? Like the AP style guide for instance?
