> The RISC-V instruction set family does benefit from the decades of research since MIPS was first created. Agree. Also, RISC-V has a business model built around open source, it isn't a desperation move, which is what the MIPS move smells like. Also, RISC-V has mind share right now -- implementing RISC-V variations is now homework sets for MIT 6.004. MIPS is day-old bread.
