__M__achines
-A series of 32-bit [RISC
] chips. Often
used in embedded systems due to low power consumption
- I think
the IPAQ uses an ARM chip, and many cell phones, for example. The newer PalmPilots use an ARM processor, presumably emulating the old 680x0 chips in software (a 133mHz processor vs a 16mHz one..
.)
+A series of fast
32-bit [CPU
]s with low power consumption,
used widely
in embedded systems. Also the name of the IntellectualProperty
-only company which owns
the design
.
-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.
-[Intel
] now owns all
the Intellectual Property associated with
StrongARM chips. Previously this
was owned by Digital
.
+[DEC
] developed
the [
StrongARM] flavour of the design, which
was later sold to [Intel]
.
