SAN JOSE, Calif.—MIPS Technologies Inc.'s quest for a stake in the ARM-dominated mobile handset market seemed, just a little more than six months ago, to be the proverbial impossible dream -- at least in the eyes of most industry analysts.
Today, while the goal still remains ambitious, MIPS has proven that the dream could actually come true. The processor IP core company revealed this week that it has landed a major cellular baseband/application chip company based in Asia.
