SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. here today expanded its ties with Mips Technologies Inc. under which AMD will license Mips' 64-bit microprocessor architecture. Under the terms announced here today, AMD will license Mips' MIPS64 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). With this license, AMD plans to develop 64-bit processors that implement the MIPS64 architecture standard. "AMD strongly believes in the MIPS architecture, and that the 64-bit MIPS architecture will complement our current 32-bit MIPS32 technology-based products, and ultimately, will serve new and different markets," said Billy Edwards, vice president and general manager of AMD's Personal Connectivity Solutions group. AMD and Mips formulated their ties when the Sunnyvale-based company acquired Alchemy Semiconductor Inc. in February. Alchemy is developing and selling embedded processors, based on RISC chips from Mips.
