MIPS' Aptiv: Will New Core Families Make the Company More Competitive?
May 18, 2012
Processor core provider MIPS Technologies has seemingly fallen on hard times in recent years. Consider, for example, a report published by the Linley Group just last week that indicated chief competitor ARM supplied CPU cores used in 78% of the estimated 10 billion CPU cores in SoCs shipped last year. ARM's estimated per-core license price was 4.6 cents, versus 7 cents for MIPS. However, with MIPS licensees shipping only 665 million MIPS cores (6% of the market, in third place, behind Synopsys/ARC at 10%), MIPS’ revenues trail far behind ARM’s.
