Someone else mentioned that the architecture is based of Sparc technology (Sun's line of CPUs, which is a mips derivative iirc). It's hardly a completely new architecture.

Sparc isn't a derivative of MIPS.

Thanks for correcting me: indeed, it's an open architecture which was used by Sun, Fujitsu and TI for their CPUs, and it's unrelated to MIPS.
