That has always been MIPS's very business model, so it's not a coincidence. I've discussed it here a number of times already...

For a 'dead' microprocessor architecture, it's quite a feat for MIPS to have its manufacturing partners --I'm sure I don't have to remind you that MIPS has *no* foundry, by its very charter, and sells everything through other foundries; even the SGI machines use NEC-manufactured chips -- sell 44 million chip units in a year -- second to only Intel.
