This presentation contains forward-looking statements; such statements are indicated by
forward-looking language such as “plans”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “will”, and other words
or phrases contemplating future activities including statements about future technology
and growth. These forward-looking statements include MIPS’ expectation regarding
improvements in financial results. Actual events or results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of different risks
and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the fact that there can be no assurance that
our products will achieve market acceptance, changes in our research and development
expenses, the anticipated benefits of our partnering relationships may be more difficult to
achieve than expected, the timing of or delays in customer orders, delays in the design
process, the length of MIPS Technologies’ sales cycle, MIPS’ ability to develop, introduce
and market new products and product enhancements, the level of demand for
semiconductors and end-user products that incorporate semiconductors and our ability to
compete effectively with larger companies and other companies that are active in our
markets. For a further discussion of risk factors affecting our business, we refer you to the
risk factors section in the documents we file from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

John Hennessy and James D. Meindl brainstorm about the
MIPS project (Photo: Chuck Painter)
Now the architecture of choice for multimedia,
home networking & beyond
Pure, fast, efficient, elegant RISC architecture
designed for performance
Pioneered by Stanford President
John Hennessy in the 1980s
Innovation continues by MIPS and
licensees—Broadcom, Cavium, ICT, Ingenic,
Loongson, NEC, NetLogic, Toshiba, others
Widely used, widely taught architecture with
millions of lines of code written for it
Strong patent position with more than
580 patent properties worldwide

MIPS Goes Mobile!
Gaining traction in mobile with initial customers for
apps processing, baseband processing and more
MIPS is already strong in portable devices such as
PMPs and digital cameras; now bringing benefits of the
high performance/low power MIPS architecture to mobile
Android + 4G = opportunity for
MIPS to enter the mobile market
100 mbps - 1GBps

Two ARM Cortex-A9 Cores = 3.6mm2*
3-core MIPS 1004K occupies same die area as 2-core ARM
Cortex-A9 leading to higher performance and low power
Worst Case SS Corner Frequencies, Production Margins ARM = 12T power opt, MIPS = 9T freq opt

1074K vs. Atom: 3 Cores are Better than 1!
Atom = 9mm2 (45nm)
Data sources: Atom: www.intel.com, Anandtech, other web content (Z5xx and CE4100 data);
MIPS: prelim synthesis data for 1074Kf for 3 core CPS including fully configured FPU cores, plus CM
functions; Benchmark data measured by both CoreMark and DMIPS

“If anyone needs any smashed Atoms, contact MIPS.”
  --Jon Peddie’s Techwatch
The 1074K core delivers nearly 2.5x the performance
in a smaller silicon footprint versus the Intel Atom
