MIPS R3000

Realizes: higher-performance workstation compute

The MIPS R3000 builds on the R2000 with 33/64-bit addressing flexibility, deeper pipelines, write-back caches, and expanded coprocessor support, making it the go-to processor for high-performance workstations like SGI Indigo and consoles such as the Sony PlayStation.

Examples

Sony PlayStation (R3000 CPU)

Sony PlayStation uses the R3000 CPU to coordinate 3D rendering, audio streaming, and controller input in a mass-market gaming console that borrows workstation-class graphics paradigms.
