Weekend Open Forum: What CPU powers your computer?

I have a i7 3930k in my main rig (also rocking two Radeon HD 5970 GPUs, for ghetto quad crossfire). My other computer is an old 3.2ghz Pentium 4 in socket 478 though. I still occasionally use it for file storage.
 
Intel i7 and i5 mostly both Sandy bridge and ivy bridge. Still have 2 core2duo's kicking around. I'm waiting for the next gen of intel and DDR 4 ram for my graphics design computer. 32 gigs in dual channel :D. Maybe that will placate the ram hungry beast known as Photoshop CC.
 
Right now I'm using Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (great chip) with Asus Maximus Formula X38 chiptset (the first Maximus!) and 8GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 Ram. ATI Radeon 4890 video card.

Arriving next week: Intel i7-5820K, ASUS Rampage V Extreme, Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2800Mhz and AMD R9 290X. :) :)
 
i7-2600K@4.4GHz. Still don't have any reason to upgrade to anything else and seems like it will be like that for awhile.

I7 920@ 4Ghz. I'm not big on benching so it's only recently that feel like my CPU needs an upgrade. The game Dying Light is what finally made me feel this way, lol.
 
Got a Phenom 955BE @4GHz 1.44V in my current desktop.
Xeon E5310 1.6GHz in my server.
ARM Cortex A9 1.2GHz in my NAS.
T4300 2.1GHz in the laptop.

Hoping to build an X99 rig soonish.

Depends on what you call a computer. My main gaming machine has an Exynos 5420. Bought it last week, and while it's not my dream CPU, I'll probably keep it for a while. The machine I mainly use for web browsing has an AMD E-350. It's basically a stop-gap machine, and I'll return to a Core 2 Duo T8300 once I get a new hard drive from Seagate.
 
AMD 8350 @4 Gigs
AMD 7950
Corsair TX850
GSkills 8 GB @ 1866
Corsair 400r
Intel 180 GB SSD @ SATA 3
WD 1 TB @ SATA 3
Asus Blu-Ray burner
Asus M5A99FX

Probably my last build using AMD. They've just fallen too far behind in both CPUs and GPUs. Crysis 1-3 is the best game of all time. CoD is a fing joke. Android needs to allow Admin control, their OS is for kindergarten kids. Gonna CM.
 
AMD FX-8350. Works wonderfully, affordable for how powerful it is, and runs really cool and quietly with a good heatsink.
 
Pretty standard
i7-3770 @ 3.90GHz
8 GB DDR3
Seagate ST1000DX001-1CM162 hybrid SSD/HDD
Gigabyte board
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
nothing special, works fine for me.
