The '''StrongARM''' is a family of computer [[microprocessor]]s developed by [[Digital Equipment Corporation]] and manufactured in the late 1990s which implemented the [[ARM architecture family|ARM v4]] [[instruction set architecture]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=StrongARM Microprocessor: SA-110 |url=https://datasheets.chipdb.org/Intel/STRONG/SA110.HTM |access-date=2024-07-31 |website=datasheets.chipdb.org}}</ref> It was later acquired by [[Intel]] in 1997 from DEC's own Digital Semiconductor division as part of a settlement of a lawsuit between the two companies over patent infringement.<ref name="Intel-DEC-settlement">{{ cite web | title = Intel, DEC Settle Alpha Chip Dispute | date = 2022-08-11 |orig-date= 1997-10-27 |last= Levine |first= Daniel S. | url = http://www.wired.com/1997/10/intel-dec-settle-alpha-chip-dispute/ | publisher = Wired.com | accessdate = 2022-08-11 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20160314015908/http://www.wired.com/1997/10/intel-dec-settle-alpha-chip-dispute/ |archivedate = 2016-03-14 }}</ref> Intel then continued to manufacture it before replacing it with the StrongARM-derived ARM-based follow-up architecture called [[XScale]] in the early 2000s.
