Shouldn't you be asking about which CPUs do *not* support IEEE 754?
In terms of which CPUs *don't*: x86 can be configured not to, but we all
know about those. Also, some embedded ARM devices have a stripped-down
maths library which doesn't do denorm numbers. (I got bitten by this the
hard way.)
Also relevant may be x86's 8087 and SSE2 options -- one may end up
with slightly different answers. Even with IEEE 754, for
transcendental functions, I think the answers will not always be
precisely the same for all processors or implementations.
Users might bump into issues even with IEEE 754 compliance...
