  I believe lots of home routers still use them.

    The most recent router I bought was a dual core ARM. I suspect anything with a Broadcom chipset is going to be ARM these days.

    My Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-Lite does. The MIPS CPUs can have hardware offloading for special network stuff, or so I have been told.

      Yeah, MIPS was nice with allowing custom instructions to be added to their cores, but with the relatively recent Arm licensing change for Armv8-M that allows something similar I wonder if more will just switch to Arm. https://hackaday.com/2019/10/23/arm-allows-custom-instructions/ https://hackaday.com/2019/10/23/arm-allows-custom-instructio...
