PROFILE |
 |
Microprocessors based on research and development from MIPS Technologies have kicked into gear more than 160 million video games, set-top boxes, handheld PCs, and other high-volume electronics products. The company licenses its reduced instruction set computer (RISC) technology to semiconductor makers, which design and sell MIPS-based microprocessors to manufacturers. Royalties from Nintendo account for the majority of sales. Other customers include Broadcom, LSI Logic, Sony, and Texas Instruments. Silicon Graphics, which acquired MIPS in 1992, sold its remaining stake in the company in 2000. MIPS is expanding its royalty clients beyond Nintendo, which is using IBM chips in newer game consoles.
