MIPS Technologies Wins "Best IP" in 'Embedded Systems Editor's Choice Awards 2010' Sponsored by EEPW
20 September 2010 - 11:00PM
MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
consumer, home networking, wireless, communications and business
applications, today announced that its new MIPS32® M14K™
synthesizable processor core family has been selected as the "Best
IP" in the 'Embedded Systems Editor's Choice Awards 2010.' The
annual awards are sponsored by the publishing house of one of
China's foremost embedded technology magazines, Electronic
Engineering & Product World (EEPW), under the direction of the
China Computer Foundation Embedded System Technical Committee
(Technical Committee on Microcomputers), China Semiconductor
Industry Association (CSIA) IC Design Branch, and CSIA Embedded
System and Application Committee.
"We are pleased that some of China's leading authorities on
semiconductor technology have selected the M14K cores as this
year's 'Best IP'," said Art Swift, vice president of marketing and
business development, MIPS Technologies. "The M14K cores are the
first synthesizable MIPS cores to be designed by our Shanghai-based
China Engineering Center. The cores represent a significant value
for developers of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) and other
cost-sensitive embedded applications, and are experiencing rapid
and widespread adoption. The MIPS® architecture continues to
proliferate into new markets such as 32-bit MCUs because of its
compelling performance, power and cost advantages."
"The winners of the Embedded Systems Editor's Choice Awards are
selected based on criteria including breakthroughs in cost and
performance, as well as innovation in the China semiconductor
market," said Mary Chen, executive publisher, EEPW. "We are pleased
to award the new MIPS cores for innovative code compression
technology which leads to lower-cost silicon implementations while
maintaining a high level of performance. We also commend MIPS
Technologies for its foresight in assembling a talented team of
Chinese engineers who designed this new core family in China."
For each of the past seven years, EEPW's Embedded Systems
Editor's Choice Awards have recognized innovation and breakthroughs
in embedded systems technologies. This year, more than 40 types of
embedded system-related products were nominated in multiple
categories. The award-winning products in each category were
determined through thousands of online votes from developers and
users, instruction opinions from the China Computer Foundation
Embedded System Technical Committee (Technical Committee on
Microcomputers), China Semiconductor Industry Association IC Design
Branch and CSIA Embedded System and Application Committee, as well
as extensive review by EEPW's embedded system editorial board
members.
About the M14K Core Family
The MIPS32 M14K core family provides high levels of system
performance for extremely cost-sensitive embedded applications such
as 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), home entertainment, personal
entertainment and home networking. The MIPS32 M14K and M14Kc™ cores
are the first MIPS32-compatible cores that also execute the new
microMIPS™ instruction set architecture (ISA), achieving high
performance of 1.5 DMIPS/MHz with an advanced level of code
compression. The microMIPS ISA maintains 98% of MIPS32 performance
while reducing code size by 35%, translating to significant silicon
cost savings. With smaller code size and efficient use of the
instruction cache to lower the cost, the microMIPS ISA also helps
to reduce system power consumption.
About the MIPS China Engineering Center
(CEC)
Founded in 2004, the MIPS China Engineering Center (CEC) is a
dedicated R&D center in Shanghai. The MIPS CEC team is the
first China-based team of a leading multinational microprocessor IP
company to develop a synthesizable processor core in China, with
the new M14K core family. The MIPS CEC team has also successfully
developed numerous hard CPU IP cores with test chips taped out in
various processes specifically for the China embedded CPU market.
In addition to designing microprocessors, the MIPS CEC team works
on application and development software including development
around the Android™ operating system that is key for mobile and
consumer electronics applications.
