ARM has those things but MIPS, once this process is completed, will be open source. This makes a difference regarding license pay.

- justincormack 8y agoAlso you can modify the instruction set, which you cannot do with Arm. Risc-V has a detailed model of which bits you can change,what is the common core and so on, which Mips will need too.
- Vogtinator 8y agoARM has vendor extension space as well. Intel used that for DSP and "Wireless MMX" in their Xscale CPUs.
- JoachimS 8y agoDepending on what the license actually will be. ARM has for example presented "free" cores to fight against RISC-V. Free as in slightly cheaper beer. https://www.bit-tech.net/news/arm-responds-to-risc-v-threat-with-free-cortex-cores/1/ https://www.bit-tech.net/news/arm-responds-to-risc-v-threat-...
