To be even more specific - I'm talking about microCONTROLLERS (not micro-processors), ARM Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4, STM32, LPC17xx, maybe even Cortex-M0 if the footprint is low enough... So no MMU, sometimes MPU (rarely), ROM in "hundreds of kilobytes", RAM in "tens of kilobytes" (sometimes less, rarely over 100kB - only for really big chips).
That makes sense. Our "smart" systems are, at a minimum, an ARM9 core (like an Atmel AT91), and we're drooling over the latest TI offerings (Cortex-A9 type stuff, like what's on the BeagleBone).
