Cracking/reverse engineerings Intel's and AMD's microcode would be a start.

Hey the Chinese hackers are pretty good too I've heard... in fact, the latest novel by the late Tom Clancy, "Threat Vector", was precisely on this theme. In the book, those evil Chinese, going to Silicon Valley to reach out and touch a computer programmer with a kinetic solution [an assassination] was a bit hokey but fun...that a team of crack China commandos were then defeated by a fat, middle-aged American who faked a heart attack and then single handedly defeated them in hand-to-hand combat in a US office complex was a bit of a stretch to the imagination, given that Clancy is supposed to give realistic descriptions, but that's Clancy catering to Hollywood's tastes.
