MIPS Technologies no longer designs MIPS processors. Instead, it’s joined the RISC-V camp, abandoning its eponymous architecture for one that has strong historical and technical ties. The move apparently heralds the end of the road for MIPS as a CPU family, and a further (slight) diminution in the variety of processors available. It’s the final arc of an architecture.

End of the line for MIPS (the CPU).

Thanks for the post jan-jaap. It is indeed a sad day that I think few didn't expect. I am surprised by the 'abandoning...' part since the MIPS architecture, as I understand, predated or at least was developed in parallel with Stanford.

Another loss of a great brand in the name of progress. I am glad for RISC-V though. The project and weight behind the architecture is strong with the force.
