MIPS is the name of the company that inherited what’s left of the
pioneering MIPS RISC architecture from the 1980s and 1990s. Nowadays
they have gone all-in on the RISC-V bandwagon. Though China’s
homegrown Loongson/LoongArch machines are, I believe, based on a
variant of the original MIPS architecture. Also I think there are
still actual MIPS chips still being made for some embeddded purposes,
like wireless routers.
