   I know I really should prefer ARM given that it was designed by My People, but I just can't help it:
   My favorite processor is 32bit x86

     @foone It's probably the artist in me but anything that's large, square, purple, and made of a ceramic that goes *clink* has my vote.

     The 68040 and 486 are both solid implementations of the platonic ideal CPU.

     @NanoRaptor exactly! chips are meant to be BIG and have PINS.

     none of this SMD QFN nonsense

     @kingrat 6502 would probably be my favorite if I was writing assembly. it's the simplest to fit in my head

     6502 for me.

     I kinda think favorite processor might be the one a person learned assembly on when they were 17. Like music genre.

     @foone @NanoRaptor I kinda loved it when they had bolts on them too.

     PA-RISC 7100 and DEC Alpha 21064
