MIPS Family Processors

9/7/2007

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.
