MIPS Technologies, Inc. designs high-performance, low-power, 32-bit and 64-bit reduced instruction-set computing (RISC) microprocessor architectures and cores for embedded systems. MIPS licenses technology to semiconductor companies and system OEMs.

The MIPS RISC architecture CPUs range from 50 MHz 32-bit R3000-based devices up to 266 MHZ 64-bit R5000-based CPUs.

In addition, the MIPS16 code compression offers a 40 percent reduction in code size while retaining full compatibility with existing binaries.

MIPS-based implementations are available with die sizes that range from 2-sq. mm to 300-sq. mm and very low power consumption.

MIPS-compliant microprocessors include a large and varied group of products developed by different manufacturers.
