MIPS has had somewhat of a resurgence recently, with many domestic gateway/router/wifi boxes using, eg. Broadcom MIPS32 SoCs running Linux or VxWorks. but it's not used as a general-purpose processor any longer. with Apple's move to EM64T, you're left with a 1G UltraSPARCiii for $2200, a 2.5G PPC970 for $3000, or a 1G UltraSPARC T1 for $4000. none of which look attractive compared with the prices of an x86(-64) d
