A family of chips originally developed by ARM and DEC. Later acquired by Intel as part of a lawsuit settlement.

The StrongARM was designed to address the upper end of the low power embedded market, where users needed more performance than the ARM could deliver while being able to accept more external support. They were used in products such as Acorns, Apple's Newton and more recently IPAQs (and other handhelds).

Intel has rebranded the StrongARM as XScale.
