Intel i960

Intel's i960 (or 80960) is a RISC-based microprocessor design that became popular during the early 1990s as an embeddedmicrocontroller. It became a best-selling CPU in that segment, along with the competing AMD 29000. In spite of its success, Intel stopped marketing the i960 in the late 1990s, as a result of a settlement with DEC whereby Intel received the rights to produce the StrongARM CPU. The processor continues to be used for a few military applications.
