With beige book headlines just out on Wednesday afternoon, some of the notably positive news was found in the tech sector, encouraging Cramer to highlight some of his favorite tech plays right now. Among the names are Xilinx [XLNX

].
"When Altera says things are great, you gotta go screaming and buying Xilinx," says Cramer, who noted how many of these stocks have seen significant positive gains in the past several weeks. And Cramer thinks these names have plenty of upwards room to run.
