The definition of ARMAn ARM is a RISC
processor
invented by Advanced RISC Machines, currently owned by Intel, and
currently produced by both the above and Digital/Compaq. ARMs are
different from most other processors in that they were
not designed to maximize speed but rather to maximize
speed per power consumed. Thus ARMs find most of their
use on hand-held machines and PDAs. A
few different OSes run on ARM based
machines including Newton OS,
JavaOS, and (soon)
Windows CE and
Linux. The StrongARM is a
more recent design of the original ARM, and it is both faster and more power
efficient than the original.
