Abstract

The MIPS R4200 is a low-power, low-cost RISC processor targeted at portable computing and embedded applications. Fully compatible with the MIPS R4000 family of high-performance microprocessors, the R4200 can power notebook, portable and low-cost desktop systems running either Windows NT or Unix. The R4200 is specifically designed for low power consumption and achieves low cost through small, high-yield dies, while retaining high levels of performance.<>
