 | | By the late 1990s MIPS was a powerhouse in the embedded processor field, and in 1997 the 48th million MIPS-based CPU shipped, making it the first RISC CPU to outship the famous Motorola 68000 family. |
 | | Fully half of MIPS income comes from licensing their designs today, while much of the rest comes from contract design work on cores that will then be produced by 3rd parties. |
 | | MIPS cores have been very successful, they form the basis of many newer Cisco routers, cable modems and ADSL modems, smartcards, laser printer engines, set-top boxes, handheld computers, and the Sony PlayStation 2. |
