In recent years{{when|date=May 2013}} most of the technology used in the various MIPS generations has been offered as [[Semiconductor intellectual property core|IP-cores]] (building-blocks) for [[embedded processor]] designs. Both [[32-bit]] and [[64-bit]] basic cores are offered, known as the '''4K''' and '''5K'''. These cores can be mixed with add-in units such as [[Floating-point unit|FPU]]s, [[SIMD]] systems, various input/output devices, etc.

MIPS cores have been commercially successful, now being used in many consumer and industrial applications. MIPS cores can be found in newer [[Cisco]], [[Linksys]] and [[Mikrotik|Mikrotik's routerboard]] routers, [[cable modem]]s and [[Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line|ADSL]] modems, [[smartcard]]s, [[laser printer]] engines, [[set-top box]]es, [[robot]]s, and hand-held computers. In cellphones and PDAs, MIPS has been largely unable to displace the incumbent, competing [[ARM architecture]].
