MIPS proAptiv has the performance similar to an ARM Cortex A15 at nearly half the die size!!! Very interesting.

Pretty sure that it can't play Crisis.

true, its good, but its also never going to over take arm.
they have damn near 100% marketshare in to many areas, to go into phones, they would need a company to make their own os, say screw arm and them, betting their entire buisness on it, in a field where arm owns, and intel is just trying to scratch into.

this will not happen.

Not true. Think Intel's Medfield and Android. Android apps are Java-based, so it's easy for them to run on non-Arm platforms. MIPS just needs to develop the portions of Android that are architecture specific. Consumers don't care what chips run in their phones. They just want something fast, cheap, and low power. If MIPS competes on these, device manufacturers will adopt their chips.

Hmmm...Intel vs ARM vs MIPS and hopefully AMD as well. Who'll win, who'll win?

Consumers!

Who needs a winner? With four competitors in one market, each constantly beating the others and then being beaten soon after, there could be some fierce competition.

you have to keep in mind the if it works.
you wont get a full phone line with every phone to switch over, you will get one, and if its not liked, they will scrap it.

intel, they have the money and backing to force their way in whether you want them or not, this... not so much.
