MIPS is addressing the problem, working with partners, and said the most popular Android apps like Fruit Ninja now work with MIPS processors.

The new processors are more power efficient and fast, and comparable to current ARM processors in terms of performance, according to analysts. The devices with the latest APTIV nuclei could be released just a year from now, MIPS said.
