A lot of talk about the 'super computer' that NASA sent to the ISS on Monday. I dug up a bit more info here:

Actually this surprised me as historically PowerPC has been the massive choice for most of the missions.

This is mostly for science work though, not to RUN the spacecraft.

NASA is developing an ARM based solution for mission computers though in the future.
