The fate of MIPS is shaping up as one of the industry’s biggest stories in 2012. The company’s potential sale would have a significant impact on its storied processor IP line, MIPS customers, potential suitors who would either gain access to the processor IP or lose access and, of course, the current MIPS work force.

Nevertheless, the question of who might buy MIPS is unavoidable and should be debated considering the broader implications of such a deal.
