What 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.
