I just read the official statement[1] that's linked to in the article.
Just so I get this straight: Wave Computing, the company that bought the remains of MIPS, is now (after bancruptcy) spinning it off as a separate company, that is going to work under the name MIPS, holds the rights to the MIPS architecture, but is doing RISC-V?

- moistbar 6y agoThat's what I got from it, but I have to say I don't understand the decision to throw away such a storied architecture as MIPS. I mean come on, the N64 runs on it!
- Narishma 6y agoPS1, PS2 and PSP also used MIPS processors and were each much more successful than the N64.
