'''MIPS''' refers to both a company, and a series of [[Central Processing Unit|CPU]] chips which are its main product.

==The company==

The company is MIPS Technologies, Inc., started as MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. in 1984, by a number of researchers from Stanford University who had been early members of the [[Reduced Instruction Set Computer]] movement.

They do not usually build and sell the [[integrated circuit|chips]] themselves, but mainly license their designs to chip manufacturers and other [[Original Equipment Manufacturer|OEM]] users.

==The chips==

The chips all implement the MIPS [[architecture]], a RISC CPU design. In common with many RISC machines, MIPS is a [[load-store architecture]].

There have been several generations; the first were all 32-bit, but recently 64-bit versions have been added to the line.
