Lets see, Sun makes Sparc (hence Sun-SPARC), Amiga did have its own (though I 
can't recall the name), SGI is the MIPS processor, HP has it's own line (though 
they are pushing the Itanium line from Intel more), as does IBM and formerly 
Motorola (PPC stuff).

On top of those, you have the various portable chips (Motorola Dragonball, TI 
ARM, various ones from Intel).  And then you have all those wonderful chips that 
control things like Cellphones, Microwaves, Ovens, Refridgerators, etc...
