It is a CPU forum...

If yours isn't in the poll, post it in a reply. I use my Xenon the most. Although, come to think of it, my router is using a MIPS processor so I'm actually using that one the most.

20 year old Texas Instruments BA2 PLUS. Yes, I'm studying for a test that doesn't allow anything more modern or programmable than that. (Unless you consider the HP 12c more modern)

PowerPC G4 1.33ghz in my old iBook G4, which I use as a file server.
Cell in my PS3. Had it running Linux at one point but gave it up. Not enough RAM.

Posting this from my iPhone, Power/cell in my PS3 and friends xbox 360, our NAS that I watch movies from is sparc based (readynas NV+), and I'm pretty sure the routers I work with regularly are all MIPS based

Besides Cell (PS3) and ARM (phone), got some PA-RISC relics kicking around at work.

I've used the TI-89 almost every day for the last 8 years.. :D

My HTC Magic contains an ARM9 based CPU, near as I know so does my DS.

I have no idea what is in most of the cameras I use for machine vision applications..

PowerPC in my iBook G4 1.2GHz.
MIPS for assembly classes.
ARM in my tablet, dev board, and iPhone.
And various other ARM in devices around the house.

Does the Z80 and AMD/intel 8080 count (Yes it runs x86 before it was x86) (Yup, There still both still running on an optical/eching printer I fire up maybe 2x a year)

I've been working on a dsPIC33F for a couple of months at work.

No idea what's in the Tektronix MSO4104.
