AMIMON Chooses the MIPS32® M4K® Core for Wireless High Definition Multimedia Applications

MIPS Technologies Continues to Gain Traction in the Digital Living Room

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital consumer, networking, personal entertainment, communications and business applications, today announced that AMIMON, an emerging leader in semiconductor technology for wireless transmission of high-definition (HD) video, has licensed the low-power MIPS32® M4K® core for development of wireless HD audio and video transfer applications.

The market for HD video is already booming for devices including HDTV and DVD players. ABI Research forecasted sales of 2.4 million HD video players in 2007, rising to 55 million in 2011, and In-Stat predicted that more than 60 million households will have at least one wide screen, HDTV display in their home by the end of 2007. AMIMON’s new WHDI™ chipsets for wireless streaming of uncompressed HD video and audio are poised to help grow the market even further by enabling a new generation of wireless HD products.

“To achieve the wire-like quality and speed of AMIMON’s wireless HD technology for consumer electronic devices, the underlying technology must offer the best possible mix of high performance, low cost and low power,” said Yoav Nissan-Cohen, CEO, AMIMON. “The MIPS32 M4K core delivers on this promise, and because it is small and synthesizable, it also offers the design flexibility we need to quickly get our products to market.”

“Companies like AMIMON are pioneering the next generation of technology for the digital home, and we are very pleased that they chose MIPS,” said Brad Holtzinger, vice president of worldwide sales at MIPS Technologies. “With today’s consumer electronics, it’s all about performance, power and price, and the M4K core wins in each of these areas. MIPS continues to be the technology of choice for the digital home for products like cable modems, DVD recorders, DTVs, and cable set-top boxes.”

MIPS Technologies offers SoC designers a comprehensive range of MIPS-Verified™ solutions for high-performance, low-power, cost-effective consumer applications. The small, high-performance M4K core offers a superior solution for multi-CPU SoC designs, which are becoming increasingly popular in next-generation networking and broadband applications.
