A veteran processor architect striving to regain its glory in the RISC-V architecture arena.MIPSMIPS has been making frequent moves recently. It announced that it will accelerate its designs for edge AI.S8200 RISC-V NPU The development timeline for the (neural network processor) is currently in progress, and test samples have begun to be provided to key customers.
Meanwhile, MIPS is under the parent company GlobalFoundries. Acquisition of Synopsys' ARC processor IP businessSubsequently, MIPS officially incorporated ARC technology assets into its portfolio. This signifies that MIPS will transform from a simple CPU core supplier into a provider of complete "computing platform" solutions, including CPUs, DSPs, NPUs, and development tools, and will fully commit to the "physical AI" application market.
