SANTA CLARA, Calif. MIPS Technologies Inc. said Thursday (Oct. 28) that SandCraft Inc. has received a comprehensive intellectual property (IP) license to use the MIPS32 and MIPS64 processor architectures in its own processor designs. The two companies said the agreement permits SandCraft to design customized 32-bit and 64-bit processors that are fully compatible with the MIPS architecture and enhanced by SandCraft's multimedia and 3D accelerated capabilities. SandCraft will develop MIPS32 and MIPS64 MIPS-based cores for use in the high-performance multimedia and digital convergence devices, such as digital set-top boxes, PDAs and interactive gaming systems, officials said. Norman Yeung, president and chief executive officer of SandCraft, said the company's positive design experience with the 64-bit MIPS IV instruction set architecture was a factor in the dec ision.
