600 MHz MIPS core up for licensing

MIPS Technologies claims is the embedded processor industry's highest performance licensable processor core is now available to customers for design starts. The 64-bit, 600-MHz MIPS64 20Kc hard core at a 0.13-micron fabrication process achieves performance of 1370 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS (with inlining). The 20Kc microarchitecture is scalable to 1 GHz in a 0.10-micron process, and the core already is available at 400 MHz in TSMC's 0.18G-micron process. Among MIPS core licensees we find well-known handheld device manufacturers such as HP, Motorola, Sony, Casio and Toshiba. According to MIPS Technologies, the MIPS64 architecture is supported by, Java, Linux, VxWorks and Windows CE .NET - and in fact, the only 64-bit processors that are currently supported by Windows CE .NET are based on the MIPS architecture.">

	600 MHz MIPS core up for licensing	By Jørgen Sundgot, Thursday 14 February 2002

What MIPS Technologies claims is the embedded processor industry's highest performance licensable processor core is now available to customers for design starts.

The 20Kc microarchitecture is scalable to 1 GHz in a 0.10-micron process, and the core already is available at 400 MHz in TSMC's 0.18G-micron process.
