I don't know if this is "new" since it was announced in 2022.

I think a question on everyone's lips is how much new MIPS hardware
MobilEye are going to be churning out? Is there *more* coming?

Don't get me wrong - I think it is pretty cool. But as these systems have
long support cycles, this will have direct consequences for the MIPS arch
maintenance and longevity.
