[[Intel]]'s '''i960''' (or '''80960''') is a [[RISC]]-based [[microprocessor]] design that became popular during the early 1990s as an [[embedded system|embedded]] [[microcontroller]]. It became a best-selling CPU in that segment, along with the competing [[AMD 29000]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Turley |first=Jim |title=Embedded Processors, Part One |url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1156709,00.asp |date=January 11, 2002 |website=[[PC Magazine|PCMag.com]] |access-date=September 8, 2018 |archive-date=July 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180719175530/https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1156709,00.asp |url-status=dead }}</ref> In spite of its success, Intel stopped marketing the i960 in the late 1990s, as a result of a settlement with [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] whereby Intel received the rights to produce the [[StrongARM]] CPU. The processor continues to be used for a few military applications.
