Comment on IBM opens up Power chips, ARM-style, to take on ChipzillaparentComments−vidarh13yDepends if you count by revenue, or by units.In shipped units, MIPS is quite likely either second after ARM, or third after ARM and PPC.MIPS was estimating an expected 500 million units for last year, I believe - I don't know if they met it. PPC has been estimated in the same ballpark.Unless Via's x86 sales are far higher than expected, x86 is likely below 400 million units shipped a year.
