That&#x27;s a good point, but I wonder if coming up from below with a cleaner architecture might be able to accomplish something similar. Is MIPS64 cleaner than X86, and could this let them create lower power higher performance chips or manufacture equivalent performance chips at a lower cost?<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.imgtec.com&#x2F;mips-processors&#x2F;loongson-mips64-processors-performance-barrier" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.imgtec.com&#x2F;mips-processors&#x2F;loongson-mips64-proce...</a>
