This is "the low end of 64 bit CPUs", though, MIPS is already competitive, along with ARM, in low end 32 bit CPUs, and Intel's still in that space along with I don't know who else. So what's worth the jump to 64 bits? And note Loongson/MIPS has competition from ARM as well (aren't their 64 bit ARM cores in iPhones now?), and maybe RISC-V, they're working on an out-of-order microarchtecture now (it's an open core, $0 IP to use).
