There were two different DEC systems for word processing:

 WPS 100 and 200 series were PDP-8E or 8A cpus
 WPS78 6100 CMOS version of PDP-8

 DECmate later version of the CMOS based word procesors using the 6120
 version of the CMOS PDP-8 on a chip.

A possibly incomplete list of DEC systems and what the cpu was used...
more or less. These are all "chip" based so it leaves out the PDP-1
through 15 series machines.

DECMATE series 6120 processor (a PDP8 in CMOS)
VAXmate Intel 80286 oriented as diskless PC workstation for vaxen.
DECstation MIPS series

Rainbow 8088/z80

Pro3xx PDP-11 (f11 or J11 chips)
PDT-11 series KDA11 (LSI-11 series)
Falcon T-11 series pdp-11 chip

Vt180 (AKA Robin) Z80

MicroVAX
VAXstation
VAXserver These are VAX systems based on Microvax, CVAX, NVAX and
           later 32bit VAX based chips.

Alpha 64bit archetecture and the chip series based on it.
