I wonder if this will include the MIPS 16e extension (the thumb-like instruction set for MIPS). It would be interesting to me if MIPS can compete with ARM in microcontrollers. As far as I know, only the PIC32 is MIPS.

I used IDT's MIPS IDTR3041 in an embedded system in the mid 90s... I remember compiling gcc for "decstation" to support it.

Will Sparc follow? I used the LEON4 SPARC processor in Intel / Movidius Myriad recently, was surprised to see Sparc...
