Z80-A at 1mhz. Killed it.
Next was a MOS 6502, that survived
Next was a Motorola 68020, then a 68030LC then a 68040 at the mindblowing speed of 33mhz. Replaced with a 40mhz version.
PC wise 386/33 etc. etc. Last was a Xeon E5645 for this very puter now, 6 cores/12 threads at 2.4ghz for normal stuff
First CPU not in a prebuilt PC was an Intel P2 400 which was one of those weird slot CPU's, my very first one included with a computer was a Pentium 60. First family PC was a 486 sx 33.
First Pc was an old Amstrad with an 8086 and dual 5.25 floppy drives,
irs bought cpu was a Cyrix Pr200+
Was either an HD6303 or a Z80A, I had both and some sram+eproms for breadboarding up little projects, can't remember which I bought first though.
First PC cpu was a 386-40, unless you count plug-in cards as I had an 8MHz 286 board plugged into my Atari ST so I could run DOS programs without needing another computer.
From a self build, an AMD of some description (though I cannot remember the exact model). The earliest that I can actually remember the details of was 2500+ Barton, for which I also bought a Shiv, although this was around self build number 4, and was the second longest lasting PC I owned! Ended up with an Ex's brother as a Championship Manager machine...
The only one that I've bought is the i5 6500. I have had others but they where in pre-built computers.
i7 920
80286 and an 80287 math co-processor... yes, I'm that old...
Motorola 6808 processor was the first processor I purchased for a computer I designed, however the first PC processor I put together was a Intel 286, The first CPU I owned was a 8088 in a Tandy Color Computer 2 (COCO 2)
486 dX 66 with 16MB RAM
NC with DOS command
On this one i've played DOOM & DOOM2 etc.
386DX33 and a 387 coprocessor!
Intel Core 2 Quad - Q6600. Overclocked to around 3.3GHz for the majority of its life.
Lasted me almost 9 years as well.
Wow I got into this late compared to a lot of you.
My first (and only) CPU I have bought is the i5 6600k in my current build.

First CPU(s) - a pair of Pentium III @ 800 MHz / 256K Cache / 133 MHz FSB for use with an ABIT VP6 MB.
Amd 386-40 :)
AMD Duron k7 1200mhz.I still have the scan of the pc build invoice.
I was very happy because i could watch movie rips and play serious Sam and counter strike 1.6.
Very Fast cpu at the time.Outperformed pentium 2 MX at least two times.Then after 2 years the new pentium 3 camed out, which had 1.8ghz and lot of cache, i remember that pentium 3 was very fine with cossacks game.

My first proper PC was a Mesh built around an AMD Athlon 700 / possibly 750 (it came running at 760MHz),
my first self-build used an i3-540.
Probably Z80A 1Mhz after shorting out a ZX81's original one with a faulty expansion.
First separate purchase processor was an 8087 but not sure if that counts as it's a co-processor rather than central processor ;)
K6-2 300!
Amd k6-2 300!
AMD 5x86-133 to upgrade a DX2-66 system.
First brand new one I bought would be an Athlon XP 2600+ Barton which I overclocked accidentally by having the board jumpered for 400MHz FSB instead of the 333 it was supposed to run at :D
AMD 586 90mhz
it was a AMD 486sx33mhz then k6-2 400mhz the first Athlon 500mhz and a overclocking DIP board that plugged in to the cpu :) now that I site here and think of all the chips I have bought over the years lol
