We often hear lots about the latest desktop and notebook processors, but rarely do we go into detail about the chips that power the smaller devices in our cars, set top boxes, routers, etc. Yesterday MIPS Technologies introduced a new core family comprised of the MIPS32 M14K and M14Kc cores, which are the first MIPS32-compatible cores that also execute the new microMIPS instruction set architecture (ISA), enabling performance of 1.5 DMIPS/MHz with an advanced level of code compression.
