Intel 80960; I960; 80960; Intel 960
Intel i960
<processor> A superscalar 32-bit RISC microprocessor
from Intel intended for embedded applications.
The i960 CA variant can reach 66 native MIPS peak performance
with a sustained execution of two instructions per clock
cycle. The i960 CF has an on-chip, four kilobyte two-way
set-associative instruction cache and a one kilobyte {data
cache}. Both the CA and CF processors have on-chip RAM; a
four-channel DMA unit; and integrated peripherals.

Intel i960
Intel's i960 (or 80960) was a RISC-based microprocessor design that became popular during the early 1990s as an embedded microcontroller. 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.
