When we first introduced the breakthrough MIPS Warrior family, we promised to deliver a disruptive and comprehensive roadmap of 32 and 64-bit CPUs that incorporate new, innovative architectural features and provide best-in-class performance and efficiency for a wide range of applications.

The first CPU we launched was MIPS P5600, a high-end 32-bit processor targeting ultimate performance in apps processors for mobile, home entertainment, home networking, automotive and many other markets. You can read more about how this powerful CPU can be integrated in a high-end mobile SoC in this blog article.

Today however we are focusing on 64-bit computing, a segment that has been again buzzing with excitement ever since Dave Burke from Google introduced Android L at Google I/O 2014. Android L is the latest iteration of the well-known operating system designed to support three main 64-bit CPU architectures, including MIPS64.

The CPU we are introducing today is MIPS I6400, a brand new design that is the embodiment of the performance efficiency principles that have defined the MIPS architecture. Read on for more on how this CPU outperforms the competition, what new and unique features we’ve implemented and where it fits in the larger Imagination story.
