Don't forget silicon hills!

The city also adopted "Silicon Hills" as a nickname in the 1990s due to a rapid influx of technology and development companies.
- ndonnellan 10y agoTo be fair, there actually is a semiconductor industry here, so "Silicon" would be an apt description.
- arcanus 10y agoAbsolutely. I was surprised to find how big the semi industry is in ATX, we have (off the top of my head): 1) Intel 2) AMD 3) Nvidia 4) NXP 5) Samsung (they even have a fab here!) 6) ARM 7) Qualcom And several hardware start ups, etc. It is actually a pretty major part of the local economy.
