Celeron 1.6
Pentium 4 3ghz
Pentium D
Core 2 Duo
Core 2 Quad
Core i7 920 - Probably my favorite of them all lasting the longest.
Core i7 5820
Core i7 5960x
Ryzen 5900x

I might have missed some
 
486DX2 - Our first family PC, still have the spec sheet too!
Pentium
Pentium 3
Pentium 4
Gen 1 Intel Core i7 - I forget the exact model.
i7-4790 - My first PC
Ryzen 5700X - First time building!
Ryzen 9700X
Ryzen 9800X3D
 
Can't really remember that well, I think it's something like the below, prob a few more in there somewhere.

486DX2-66
Pentium
Athlon
Celeron
Core 2 Duo
Core 2 Quad
Core i7 920
Core i7 4790k
Ryzen 5900x
Ryzen 7800X3D
 
My main PCs...
@ = Overlocked to :D

Pentium 75 > Upgraded to Pentium 133
AMD K6-2 400 @ 450mhz
AMD Athlon Thunderbird AXIA 1Ghz @ 1.33Ghz
AMD Athlon XP 2800 @ Stock
AMD Athlon64X2 3800 @ 3.8Ghz
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 3.2Ghz Upgraded/Sidegraded to Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 (Got it very cheap! Hardly any difference)
Intel i5 2500k @ ??
AMD Ryzen 7 1700
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X @ 4.2Ghz
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 4.7Ghz
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

The biggest jump for me in terms of day to day was the Core2 Duo era. Blew everything out of the water and was monumental jump in performance from anything on the market. The bog standard E6300 could overclock and get speeds similar to a Extreme chip which cost £1k.

Had the i5 2500k the longest. Great platform.
