To me, microprocessors now don't even seem high tech. They are just commodity devices. Technical advancement for microprocessors for years meant nothing more than reducing the feature size, cramming more and more onto the same sized chips. These days it means cramming more and more cpu cores onto the same sized chips, with more on chip memory. Maybe tossing in a graphics card and cramming it onto the chip as a feature as well. Dull, grinding, completely predictable grunt work.

High tech to me seems to be developments on the web, mobile computing developments, AI's like Watson, and robotic developments. The underlying chips seems pretty dull and uninteresting. There doesn't seem to be anything exciting happening there anymore.
