Well, seeing as all the 'droid hardware has thus far come from the same manufacturer (HTC), who uses that same chip in just about *ALL* their devices, and the fact that all the 'droid hardware they have produced to date (DREAM, MAGIC, HERO) have just been different packaging of virtually the identical hardware (READ: looks different but is actually the same, save from more or less memory/flash), it is not much of a surprise that they all have the same CPU, which BTW is MSM7200/7201.
Now you start adding in different manufacturers, you have mentioned motorola and sony, and you are bound to get different hardware, which is why you are seeing different CPUs. FYI: the core platform is Linux, which supports just about every processor ever conceived. There is some work required to get the whole of android running on a different CPU, but it is relatively quite little.
