Ah. I was thinking the MIPS was still owned by Infineon.
Then it explains all.
However even MIPS was "opened", but I doubt that it'll gain any market. |

I don't believe Infinion ever owned MIPS, maybe they had a licence for building them but there are others that have licences too:
Microchip Technology / PIC
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC_microcontrollers#PIC32M_MIPS-based_line
MIPS is like ARM but not as famous as they are, they are licensing technology, but I have my doubt they can keep up with ARM.Last edited by OneTimer1 on 27-Jan-2020 at 10:24 PM.

Close, Imagination Technologies of PowerVR fame owned it until 2017. |

| @OneTimer1 & Rose: sorry, I confused it with Infineon. You're right.

Broadcom not included in long list likely due to their strategic IP use and partnerships, despite owning MIPS which isn't expected to dominate the market post-acquisition by Infineon.
MIPS ownership remains with Broadcom but unlikely a major player outside of its niche. |
