The first few were all in prebuilt family PCs so may not be 100% accurate but nevertheless:

Pentium II in a prebuilt Tiny running Win 98
Pentium 4 in a Packard Bell prebuilt with Win XP
E6600 in some prebuilt ACER thing
Q6600
unknown T series intel Core 2 in a Dell laptop

Not sure I have the brain power to summon some of these memories.. something like..

Packard Bell.. that was my DX33. didn't come with onboard cache as standard. Had to order the chip separately and plug it in.

Pentium 150
Amd athlon 600

(Break from desktop for a couple years)
i7 4790k
Ryzen 1700x
Ryzen 3900x
Ryzen 9700x

These are all my personal rig. But have had a handful of others. And all 3 ryzen are still in use. And the 4790k has only recently been retired.
 
i5-650
i5-750
i5-4690k
i7-4790k
i7-8700k
i9-9900k

i9 still going strong with the 9070 Xt and I genuinely don’t see a need to upgrade other than platform upgrades, I.e PCIE gen for GPU and SSDs + amount of NVME..

I'm going with Athlon 1800x

intel q9550

I did have a list on a blueyonder website but that's gone and so too is the backup of the site as the 3900x + 28TB raid array went walkies.

As you can see the rate of upgrade has slowed pretty drastically over the last 10 years! The early i7s were man enough for just about anything, for ages. Now I was waiting for AM6 and expecting to skip AM5, but I'm not sure if i can wait till 2027....
