Inspired by the personal history of GPUs Thread by Matewis (Kudos for that - was a nice journey into the past to see all that old GPUs)
(https://www.gog.com/forum/general/what_was_your_sequence_of_gpus_owned/page1)

i thought it would be interesting to have a similar thread for owned CPUs as well.
Forum Search (which is bad as everyone knows did not show me a similar thread so i decided to create one).

Really looking forward to your hardware journeys!
Starting with my own (have to admit was pretty hard to remember every single CPU over time but i hope i got it right)

Intel I7 4770K 3500 MHz (16 GB Ram)
Intel I7 7700K 4200 MHz (16 GB Ram)

Missing/Leaving out a Sempron Model (Most likely Sempron 2200+) and a Pentium G3420 in there which i only used temporarily (<1 year) as replacment/moneysavers or as i got it for free

This one is about CPU's... :-)

Intel Pentium II 233 MHz

Intel Pentium III 1000 MHz

AMD Athlon XP 1700+

Intel i5-6500

Look again...

Yeah, my mistake. I only fairly recently posted a comment in the GPU thread, and hadn't realised there was also a CPU topic too. All corrected now. :) Yeah, my mistake. I really need to learn to read, or at the very least, be more observant...

The Athlons that were able to unlock to Phenoms had stepping code either AACYC or CACYC.

As for Ryzen 3 4300GE i got it for parents last year, thought it was perfect for them. Haven't played much games when i visit them but seems like a capable budget option: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO6ukMOv9b8

P1 166 MMX, P3, AMD something, something, AMD Athlon II, Ryzen 5 3600.

I don't remember what the earliest CPU's I used were, but I remember the first one that I totally built my own PC around:

Pentium 166- the champion Grand Prix 2 machine. As far as I know this is still running attached to my mother's sewing machine.

Pentium II 350- still going strong in a retro Win 98/DOS dual boot PC, attached to a CRT of course.

Celeron 633- better than the Pentium 3's because of how far these babies could be overclocked and much cheaper, short lived stop gap replaced by...

Celeron 1Ghz- as above but much better.

Pentium 4 2.4Ghz

Core 2 Duo...cannot remember the clock speed but it was crap, performed worse than the old P4 because its clock was slightly slower, and nothing at the time took any advantage of the dual cores anyway.

Core 2 Quad 6600- great CPU that is still my longest serving one- only being retired in 2018 due only really using the PC for older strategy and RPG games.

Ryzen Q2200...I think that was what it was called- it had the onboard graphics. Was a very short term stop gap just to keep price down for a new system. Quickly sold off and replaced with:

Ryzen 5 2600x- still my current CPU and feeling no need to upgrade due to my PC rarely being used for anything demanding these days, and most modern games being GPU bound on my current RX580 long before the CPU comes under any duress.

Intel 486 -> Intel Pentium II -> AMD Athlon XP 2800 -> Intel I5 6600K

Pentium 100
Pentium 200MMX
Celeron 300 @ 450
PIII-500
Celeron 566 @ 935 (would run at 1020, but not really stable)
An athlon and then a P3 or something.
Pentium 4 1.6 @ 2.3
Athlon 64 something or other
Core 2 Quad Q6600 <-- last desktop CPU
i5-2*** something
i7-3840MQ
i7-4810MQ
i7-6820HQ

The very first PC CPU was whatever the Cobra (ZX Spectrum) clone had.
Then, actual PCs:
- 1992: 386 SX 16 MHz
- 1994: 486 DX2 66 MHz
- 1998: Pentium II 266 MHz
- 2002: Pentium 4A 2 GHz
- 2008 (still in a corner of my room, last used in 2016, while this computer was getting a checkup): Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz dual-core
- 2015 (current): Pentium G3440 3.3 GHz dual-core

My main computer:
* Intel 386 12mhz
* A coupleof Cyrix chips in the 486/586/686 era: I recall the 486 being a DX and not SX.
* AMD chips since. There's the "dark ages of wherever whatever I bought" during college from 00ish until most of my history that's now on Newegg. I think there were 2 upgrades during my stupid college kid "buy random stuff at a computer show" years. There was a K6-2 in there.
* 2005: Sempron 64 3000+
* 2008: Athlon 64 X2 4000+
* 2009: Phenom 9600
* 2013: A10-6800K
* 2019 (and current): Ryzen 5 3600

My home server/SMB file share/Linux workstation:
2010: Intel Atom D510 [yes, has been in service for 12 years]
Currently building: Ryzen 5 5600G

Laptops: They've mostly been Intel Core i5. Main one/longest lived (still in use) is a Core i5 (4th Gen). I also have a 4th gen Core i7 that I don't really use but have as a backup. (It's loud with constantly max fan and it's a barely-useful little 12 inch display). Current work laptop is a 10th generation i5. Plus whatever's in a 1st generation Surface Go that's my PDF reader.
