Techopedia explains StrongARM
A RISC approach can decrease the amount of transistors needed on a processor chip. It can also reduce heat and energy use. For these reasons, the use of RISC-based processors was integral to the creation of lightweight portable devices for the consumer markets.
The StrongARM project was a collaboration between tech companies aimed at offering a product that did not require the full processing power of a conventional microchip.
