  1. Re:So, the next MIPS? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hope this is a joke. ARM has a vastly stronger market foothold than anything related to MIPS ever had. In terms of supported software, there is just as much, if not more stuff supporting ARM than x86/Intel, so what reason would hardware makers have to go back to Intel?

    I'm pretty sure ARM is here to stay for a long time.
