Semicast-Studie
ARM führt im Digital-Home-Bereich vor MIPS und der Power Architecture



09.07.2009 | Redakteur: Holger Heller


Die Analysten des Embedded Processing Service bei Semicast stellen fest, dass ARM seine Position als führende Embedded-Prozessor-Architektur im Digital-Home-Markt auch im Jahr 2008 vor MIPS und der Power Architecture halten konnte.

Colin Barnden, Semicast: Harter Wettbewerb bei Prozessoren für den Consumer-Markt
Colin Barnden, Semicast: Harter Wettbewerb bei Prozessoren für den Consumer-Markt
Die Analyse zur Markteinschätzung der ARM-Architektur besagt, dass im Jahr 2008 etwa 60% aller ARM-basierten Embedded-Prozessoren in Mobiltelefonen installiert wurden. In den nächsten fünf Jahren rechnet Semicast hier mit einem Anteil von 50%, da ARM seine Präsenz in anderen Märkten weiter ausbauen wird.
Colin Barnden, Principal Analyst bei Semicast Research, erklärte dazu: „Für die Zukunft schätzen wir den Digital-Home-Bereich als wichtigen Wachtumsmarkt für die ARM-Architektur ein – hier wird ein harter Wettbewerb mit den anderen Anbietern von Embedded-Prozessoren stattfinden.“ In Digital-Home-Geräten hält ARM im Moment seine führende Position gegenüber MIPS sowie der Power Architecture und werde diese auch im krisengeschüttelten Jahr 2009 weiter ausbauen, so Barnden.
Vor allem ARM und MIPS leisten sich im Bereich Home Networking, Handheld-Spielekonsolen, Media-/MP3-Player, Digitalkameras, Digital-TV, Settop-Boxen und DVD-Rekorder einen erbitterten Wettbewerb. Kein Wunder: laut Barnden weisen diese Märkte in den nächsten Jahren starke Wachstumsraten auf.

Im Vergleich dazu erreicht die Power Architecture bei verdrahteten Spielekonsolen große Erfolge, so z.B. mit Design-wins für die Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii und Microsoft Xbox 360. Der Power Architecture wird in anderen Digital-Home-Bereichen aber nur ein moderates Wachstum vorausgesagt.
x86-Architektur auf dem Vormarsch
Historisch gesehen war die x86-Architektur im Digital-Home-Bereich weniger präsent – und durch ihr Verhältnis zwischen Preis, Leistungsfähigkeit udn Stromaufnahme weniger geeignet für Consumer-Geräte. Mittlerweile stehen aber Strom sparende und kostengünstigere Varianten von x86-Prozessoren wie Intels Atom-CPU zur Verfügung, die durch die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Intel und TSMC sogar als Core in ASICs und ASSPs ihren Weg findet.

„Die x86-Architektur wird dadurch immer mehr im Digital-Home-Bereich präsent, der sich durch seine hoch kundenspezifischen Lösungen auszeichnet,“ so Barnden. Laut Semicast muss die x86-Architektur dabei aber noch einen weiten Weg gehen, um an ARM, MIPS und die Power Architecture im Digital-Home-Bereich heranzukommen.
Barnden dazu: „Auf kurze Sicht kann sie daher nicht als direkter Wettbewerber gesehen werden. Auf längere Sicht sei x86 jedoch nicht zu unterschätzen. Sollte AMD oder Intel die Power Architecture durch einen x86-Prozessor in einer der nächsten Generationen verdrahteter Spielekonsolen vertreiben, könnten die x86-Umsätze die Power-Architecture-Erlöse im Digital-Home-Bereich noch vor dem Jahr 2014 übersteigen.“
Während ARM-, MIPS- und Power-Architecture-basierte Embedded-Prozessoren im Digital-Home-Bereich vorherrschen, ist Broadcom der Marktführer in diesem Prozessorsegment. IBM, NXP, Samsung und Toshiba zählen hier mit zu den Top-5-Unternehmen, die zusammen 50% des gesamten Embedded-Prozessor-Marktes abdecken.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for home entertainment, communications, networking and portable multimedia markets, today reported consolidated financial results for its second fiscal quarter 2010 ended December 31, 2009. All financial results are reported in U.S. GAAP unless otherwise noted, and compare current results with historical results recast to reflect the disposition of MIPS Technologies’ Analog Business Group.

Summary Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 Highlights:

* Revenue grew to $15.2 million
* Licensee royalty units grew to 126 million units from 106 million units in Q1’10
* GAAP net income from continuing operations was $3.3 million or $0.07 per share
* Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $4.1 million or $0.09 per share
* Cash and investment balances grew $4.5 million to $48 million at quarter end

Fiscal Second Quarter 2010 Details:

Revenue for the second quarter was $15.2 million, an increase of 1 percent over the prior quarter revenue of $15.0 million and a decrease of 25 percent from the $20.3 million reported in the second fiscal quarter a year ago.

Revenue from royalties was $11.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 17 percent from the prior quarter and a decrease of $1.2 million from the $12.6 million reported in the second quarter a year ago. License revenue was $3.8 million, a decrease of 27 percent from the $5.2 million reported in the prior quarter and a decrease of 51 percent from the $7.8 million reported in the second quarter a year ago.

The Company’s fiscal Q2 GAAP net income from continuing operations was $3.3 million or $0.07 per share. This compares with a net income of $0.6 million or $0.01 per share from continuing operations in the prior quarter, and a net income of $0.1 million continuing operations in the second quarter a year ago.

Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, which excludes certain costs detailed in the tables below, was $4.1 million or $0.09 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $2.5 million or $0.06 per share in the prior quarter and $1.2 million or $0.03 per share in the second quarter a year ago.

22.02.10
Neuer MIPS-CEO will Firma umbauen

Der neue CEO des Prozessorherstellers MIPS, Sandeep Vij, will die Firma vom reinen Core-Lieferanten in Richtung Lösungsanbieter umbauen. Desweiteren sollen auch Produkte für das untere Ende der Leistungsskala entwickelt werden.

MIPS-CEO Sandeep Vij: »Niemand mag Monopole.«

In einem Gespräch mit der Zeitschrift Elektronik hob Vij hervor, dass MIPS, in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung häufig als Anbieter ausschließlich für Konsumelektronik wie SetTop-Boxen oder MP3-Spieler bekannt, schon heute signifikante Design-Wins in den Bereichen Wireless, Automotive und Industrial habe. So gäbe es schon Handys mit MIPS-Cores zu kaufen.

Auf die wirtschaftliche Situation seines Unternehmens angesprochen, entgegnete Vij, dass die Kredite, die MIPS für den Kauf und anschließendem (Not-)Verkauf der portugisischen Analog-IP-Firma Chipidea aufnehmen musste, bis auf weniger als 10 Mio. Dollar zurückgezahlt seien. Pro Quartal verdiene die Firma 3 bis 4 Mio. Dollar.

Nach den wichtigsten Aufgaben als neuer CEO gefragt, sagte Vij, dass sich MIPS weg von einer reinen Prozessor-Firma hin zu einem Gesamtlösungs-Anbieter entwickeln müsse. Dies bedeute insbesondere einen Ausbau des Ecosystems mit Partnern, die MIPS als »Dirigent eines Orchesters« steuern wolle. Darüber hinaus plant er die Entwicklung von Referenz-Designs, die es den Kunden ermöglichen, ihre Produkte schneller marktfähig zu machen.

In Analogie zum FPGA-Hersteller Xilinx, für den Vij im Rahmen seiner damaligen Tätigkeit die »Billig-Produktlinie« Spartan entwickelte, will er auch bei MIPS Produkte am unteren Ende der Leistungsskala entwickeln. Derzeit zeichnen sich MIPS-Cores primär durch überdurchschnittliche Rechenleistung aus. Hierzu gibt es eine »Kundenroadmap«, die MIPS zusammen mit seinen wichtigsten Kunden erstellt hat und in Kürze vorgstellt werden soll.

Als letzten Punkt erwähnte Vij, dass MIPS' Firmenkultur in Richtung »High-Performance-Culture« entwickelt werden müsse, in der agressive Ziele aufgestellt und verfolgt werden müssten - eine mehr oder weniger versteckte Kritik an seinem Vorgänger John Bourgoin, der sich 2009 in die Rente verabschiedet hatte.

Auf die Dominanz von ARM im Bereich Handys angesprochen, sagte Vij eine signifikante Marktverschiebung voraus. Zum einen könne jeder Handyhersteller dank des Betriebssystems Android, dem er großen Erfolg voraussagte, nun auch MIPS-Cores einsetzen, die zudem objektiv unter Android die höchste Rechenleistung und eine bessere Energieeffizienz als die Konkurrenz erzielen würden. Zum anderen sagte Vij: »Niemand und vor allem kein Handyhersteller mag Monopole« (Amerkung der Redaktion: ARM-Cores finden sich mittlerweile in über 95 Prozent aller Handys).

Aktuell besucht Vij Kunden in aller Welt, um diesen »zuzuhören« und ihre »Bedürfnisse noch besser zu verstehen«.

MIPS Technology Challenges ARM's Cell Phone Chip Design Monopoly
1 comment | by: Barry Bazzell September 15, 2010 | about: ARMH / MIPS


MIPS Technologies' (MIPS) stock has skyrocketed recently as it lays the groundwork to challenge ARM (ARMH), the dominant player in cell phone chip design. Savvy investors see the small Silicon Valley company as an emerging threat to ARM, the Cambridge, England firm that licenses the processor designs used in nearly all the leading mobile phones.

MIPS is the top maker of semiconductor designs that are used in routers and home entertainment electronics such as televisions, Blu-Ray players, set-top boxes and DVRs. Cisco (CSCO) routers, Sony (SNE) TVs and Motorola (MOT) set-top boxes all use MIPS processors. Broadcom (BRCM) is MIPS largest customer. NetLogic Microsystems (NETL) and Cavium Networks (CAVM), the leading makers of fast growing multicore networking chips, are also key customers.
But MIPS has its eyes on a much bigger prize. The first smart phones with MIPS processors are scheduled to hit the market in early 2011. The popularity of Google's Android mobile phone operating system made it possible for MIPS to enter the cell phone market.

"Android represents an opportunity that comes around once in a generation," says CEO Sandeep Vij. "We're going to take advantage of it." Vij points out that "with Android, we can bring all of MIPS' architectural advantages to handsets. There was previously a barrier to entry for MIPS in mobile handsets because the operating system was tied to the processor. With Android, that barrier has been removed because applications can run on an Android system regardless of the processor architecture." Vij also notes that Nokia's popular Symbian cell phone operating system never ported to MIPS.

Another major reason why the timing is right for MIPS, says Vij, is the "growth of 4G (fourth generation) cell phones. The 4G processors have more Wi-Fi wireless than 3G processors. MIPS is the number one provider of wireless chip designs for Wi-Fi routers and other devices.

"By using a MIPS processor, we enable cell phone makers to have more processing power in the cell phone chips," says Vij. "MIPS has 32-bit and 64-bit processors. ARM does not have 64-bit. MIPS has single and multithreaded designs. ARM does not have multithreaded," he points out.

A research team at the University of California, San Diego is developing a cell phone chip that dramatically improves power conservation. The prototype chip is called GreenDroid and uses a MIPS processor and the Android operating system.

Vij, 44, recently took over the helm at MIPS. Before taking over at MIPS, Vij was an executive at Cavium.

Vij studied as a graduate student at Stanford University under John Hennessy. Hennessy, who is now the president of Standord, co-founded MIPS Computer Systems, which later became MIPS Technologies.

bei einem ausbruch auf jahreshoch bin ich dann dabei.
ein kursziel habe ich nicht, wie bei allen aktien spielt hier nämlich die entwicklung des gesamtmarkts eine wichtige rolle und wer kann schon sagen, wo da die reise hingeht?

die relative stärke der aktie in verbindung mit dem volumenanstieg sind für mich der hauptgrund für einen kauf.

Hallo
Nachdem ich mips 2000 aus dem spinoff von Silicon graphics bekommen habe, habe ich mich nicht mehr weiter um diese Aktie gekümmert. In letzter Zeit kam dann der Anstieg bis auf über 13€. Da der Kurs in den letzten Tagen auf einmal wieder stark zurückkam habe ich versucht einen Grund dafür zu finden. Meiner Meinung nach sind die am 25.1. gemeldeten Quartalszahlen nicht der Grund für diesen Rückgang. Was ist also der Grund? Weiß jemand etwas? Andere Meldungen habe ich nicht gefunden.
Für Hinweise wäre ich dankbar.

doch, die quartalszahlen waren schuld. entscheident ist nicht wie die zahlen ausfallen, sondern wie diese zahlen aufgenommen werden. chip-aktien waren der renner des letzten halben jahres. fast alles ging hier durch die decke. ähnlich wie bei apple sind diese aktien somit auch priced for perfection. enttäuschungen sind vorprogrammiert. mips notiert momentan an der 100dma, wenn der gesamtmarkt mitspielt, kann es hier zu einem rebound kommen. wie es dann aber weiter geht, ehrlich gesagt, keine ahnung.
habe selbst mit axti, asys und entr mein depot zu 90% in chips investiert und fühle mich dabei nicht wohl. wichtig ist jetzt, dass die selbst gesetzten stoppmarkten eingehalten werden. der trend der smartphones und des mobilen internets sind sicherlich noch nicht zu ende, aber das darf alles kein argument gegen einen nötigen aktienverkauf zur verlustvermeidung sein.
