Is CMake part of Android Studio?

Is CMake part of Android Studio? When I tried to do a Gradle Sync in Android Studio, I got an error that the CMake is too early a version and I need to update it. But I get this error even if I uninstall CMake. This tells me that CMake must be embedded somehow in Android Studio. So, how can I fix this? Please help.

This happens even if I remove cmake from the command line. So it seems that cmake is embedded into Android Studio. So how do I update cmake if it is part of Android Studio somehow?

When running the Gradle Sync command in Android Studio I get an error message that the CMake is outdated and I need to download a later version.
