SGI is out with a few press releases about its MIPS microprocessor architecture at COMDEX. Focusing on its fast growth:

Over the last two years, the MIPS microprocessor architecture has grown by a factor of more than ten. In 1996, more than 19.2 million MIPS processors shipped from all MIPS semiconductor licensees, making it the largest RISC architecture, and representing an increase of nearly 300 percent over 1995. This year, MIPS partners expect to ship more than 35 million processors.

The articles mention LSI as one of its partners (list about six or seven):

These partners offer state-of-the-art manufacturing process technology and also provide custom integration, derivative design technologies and other value-added competencies that make MIPS the world's leading RISC architecture.

Hopefully the this will lift one of the shadows on the stock - SGI was a big customer that people worried about as it fell on hard times. With the forecast of producing almost twice the number of MIPS chips this year, maybe LSI will be the beneficiary of some of that growth.
