| | Acorn Archimedes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unlike the previous Archimedes models, the A3000 came in a single-part case similar to the Amiga 500 and Atari ST computers, with the keyboard attached to the main unit. | | | The Acorn Archimedes was Acorn Computers Ltd's first general purpose home computer based on their own 32-bit ARM RISC CPU, and spawned a family of very capable machines with various options. | | | The Archimedes was one of the most powerful home computers available during the late 1980s and early 1990s; its main CPU was faster than the stock 68000s found in the more popular Atari ST and Commodore Amiga machines. |

| | About Acorn computers and ARM processors |
| | Acorn Archimedes computers were the first of Acorn's computers to use a 32 bit architecture. | | | Actually, there are several operating systems for Acorn computers: RISC OS is the one designed by Acorn for their own computers. | | | The Acorn platform is probably one of the smallest computer platforms, consisting of some estimated 500,000 machines (excluding older 8-bit computers). |

| | Acorn's Archimedes computer has received a lot of publicity lately -- indeed Acorn is rumoured to have got rid of half its staff by way of celebration -- so we decided to give the machine a test drive. | | | The Archimedes is clearly a pioneering machine with a far greater arithmetical ability than its predecessors the Pythagoras and the Plato. | | | The Acorn Archimedes computer - a test drive |

| | Real World Technologies - ARM’s Race to Embedded World Domination |
| | It started out as the Acorn RISC Machine, named after a British company, Acorn Computers Ltd. In the early 1980’s Acorn was looking to replace the 6502 processor in its line of personal computers, which was rapidly running out of steam (not to mention address space). | | | A group of Acorn engineers, including Robert Heaton, Stephen Furber, and Jamie Urquhart, created a behavioral model of the new processor architecture, and worked on the design of the register file, data path, and control circuitry. | | | To Acorn’s visionary and daring engineers, the answer was to exploit a brand new way of designing high performance processors. |

| | The Acorn Archimedes series of 32 bit RISC personal computers was British company Acorn's answer to the Atari ST and Amiga. | | | Acorn had started development of it's own RISC processor in 1983 called the ARM (Acorn Risc Machine, later changed to Advanced RISC Machine) which it eventually used for the first time in this computer. | | | The initial release of the Acorn was 2-3 times faster than the then current ST's and Amiga's, and even came with an emulator for Acorn's older BBC computers (something Atari and Commodore never did). |

| | Description: Acorn Archimedes computers were standard school issue in the early 90s and replaced the aging BBC computers that had served the previous generation. | | | The Archimedes was the very first RISC-based personal computer and was technically a very advanced machine. | | | Unfortunately the Acorn Archimedes series never proved commercially successful and disappeared from most schools to make way for the popular Intel PCs. |

| | Real World Technologies - ARM’s Race to Embedded World Domination |
| | Many North American computer enthusiasts first became aware of Acorn and ARM from a 1987 article about the Acorn Archimedes A310 PC in Byte Magazine [3]. | | | The ARM2 and Archimedes appeared around the same time as the first IBM compatible PCs built around the Intel 386DX, but used a much simpler unified memory architecture, or UMA, system design with no caches and CPU driven graphics. | | | The RISC-based A310 excelled on integer programs, but the lack of FPU showed up in the 'Savage' benchmark, where slow IEEE-754 compatible emulation routines in the C library hurt the performance. |

| | Archimedes A family of microcomputers produced by Acorn Computers, Cambridge, UK. | | | The Archimedes, launched in June 1987, was the first RISC based personal computer (predating Apple Computer's Power Mac by some seven years). | | | It uses the Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) processor and includes Acorn's multitasking operating system and graphical user interface, RISC OS on ROM, along with an interpreter for Acorn's enhanced BASIC, BASIC V. |
