That's something I was also curious about and it turns out Arduinos use the Harvard architecture. You might say Arduinos are not really "computers" but after a bit of googling I found an Apple II emulator running on an Arduino and, well, an Apple II is generally accepted to be a computer :)

One of the most popular microcontroller series in history, Intel (and others) 8051, used a Harvard architecture.

hello,

if i remember it correctly the main difference of the "harvard"-architecture was: it uses its own data and program/instruction buses ...

i think texas instruments 320x0 signal-processors used this architecture ... back in, you guessed it!, the 1980ties.

ah, they use a modified harvard architecture :))
