MIPS Technologies Inc is to open a design center in Copenhagen, Denmark at the beginning of next month, having employed 24 engineers previously with LSI Logic Corp. The LSI team had been working on low-power MIPS chip cores and systems-on-a-chip projects, including the TinyRISC core. MIPS said the work in core development for Windows CE products fitted well with its future product plans. MIPS said it would continue to provide support for LSI. The MIPS processor roadmap includes the 32-bit entry-level Jade core, due out in the second quarter of 1999, followed by 64-bit Opal and Ruby cores that provide for mid-range and high- end performance (CI No 3,531).
