It's really a question of symantics. "Microprocessor" typically refers to a PC-style CPU, that is, an adaptable piece of silicon that can be instructed to perform most forms of tasks. "Microcontroller" typically means a CPU that is solely dedicated to one purpose.

In other words, a PC would have a microprocessor, while a microwave would have a microcontroller.
