Not necessarily "the best", but the most iconic, and those which set the tone of an age. Biased strongly towards workstation processors.
I was born in October 1980, and thus this list excludes the Intel 8086, Zilog Z80, and MOS 6502. In no particular order:
- Intel Pentium P55C (October 1996)
- Motorola 68000 (November 1980)
- DEC Alpha 21164 EV5 (January 1995)
- Intel Core i7-2600K (January 2011)
- AMD Athlon Thunderbird (DDR 1.4GHz variant) (June 2000)
- NVIDIA G80 (October 2006)
- Cray X-MPU (1982)
- AMD Am386DX-40 (1991)
- PowerPC 603e (August 1996)
- ARM Cortex-A9
