Sometimes referred to as "applications specific processor" (ASP) or "System on chip" (SoC). These are the bulk of semiconductor sales these days as they have replaced all of the miscellaneous gate logic on devices with a single programmable block that has a bunch of built in peripherals. Think Atmel AtMega parts, there are trillions of these in various roles. When you think of something like a 555 timer[1] that is now more cost effectively and capably replaced with an 8 pin micro-processor you can get an idea of the shift. While these are rarely built on the "leading edge" process node, when a process node takes over for high margin chips, the previous node gets used for lower margin chips, which effectively does a shrink on their die increasing their cost (most of these chips seem to keep their performance specs fairly constant, preferring cost reduction over performance improvement.) Anyway, the zillions of these chips in lots of different "flavors" are colloquially referred to as "jelly bean" chips.
