-A series of 32-bit [RISC

used in embedded systems due to low power consumption
- I think
the IPAQ uses an ARM chip, and many cell phones, for example
.

32-bit [CPU

in embedded systems. Also the name of the IntellectualProperty

-They have also been used in full-blown
computers, perhaps
the Acorn Archimedes
was the most well-known machine
to use them?
+The design was created by [Acorn] for their desktop
computers which ultimately failed in
the market. [ARM]
was spawned to market
the [CPU] design and went on
to become very successful.
-I think
[Intel

the Intellectual Property associated with ARM chips

the [StrongARM] flavour of the design, which was later sold to [Intel]
