Processor hardware is technically as close to magic as I’ve found in the modern world. The science and logic required to make chips is simply breathtaking. That said, processor hardware is a mature market, one that is so mature that it is starting to consolidate in major ways. Until a startup comes up with a chip that can solve current problems not solve able by a CPU/GPU/FPGA, profits will continue to accrue further up the stack to the software companies that are adding differentiated value.
