MIPS Technologies Revenue and Competitors

We are a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital consumer and business applications. The embedded industry is experiencing dynamic change driven by increasing demand for more information, better services and media-rich content with increased security in a wide range of products. To meet these trends, system OEMs and semiconductor companies are turning to industry-standard intellectual property (IP) that offers proven, programmable high-performance technology and enables faster time to market. And, for an increasing number of industry leaders, the industry-standard microprocessor architecture they have come to rely on is the MIPS® architecture, which enables SOC design at a fraction of the development cost when compared to internally developed solutions. At the heart of MIPS technology is the MIPS architecture, developed 20 years ago by Stanford University engineering professor John Hennessy, now president of Stanford. Hennessy took the lead in RISC processing and created an elegant, streamlined architecture with a scalability that has met the demands of generations of applications, thus preserving the wealth of development tools and software that support them. Today, the MIPS architecture is an industry standard and the performance leader within the embedded industry. Backed by a vast ecosystem of companies dedicated to best-in-class development support, customers have confidence in bringing superior products to market on time, with less risk and lower cost.
