StrongARM was DEC originally then developed into XScale at Intel when they acquired that division from Digital as part of a lawsuit settlement I believe.

The funny thing about the ARM performance/watts thing is that it wasn't originally a design goal except for the need to use a plastic rather than ceramic package to save money. They were aiming for 1 watt but ended up at 0.1 watt!
