Marmalade's Cross Platform SDK for Mobile Applications Coming to the MIPS Architecture
GlobeNewswire
2012-07-11

   Enabling Developers to Easily Bring Top Games to Millions of
                MIPS-Based(TM) Android(TM) Devices

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIPS Technologies,
Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor
architectures and cores for home entertainment, networking, mobile and
embedded applications, and Marmalade, provider of one of the world's
most powerful cross-platform SDKs for native mobile apps, announced
they are working together to bring Marmalade SDK support to the MIPS(R)
architecture. Many of the world's top-selling 2D and 3D games,
including Draw Something, Call of Duty, Cut the Rope, Lara Croft, Need
for Speed, and BackBreaker, have been made with Marmalade. With support
for the MIPS architecture in the Marmalade SDK, developers of these
games--and tomorrow's top games and apps--will be able to easily bring
their games to millions of MIPS-Based(TM) Android devices.

With the Marmalade SDK, developers can build and distribute
cross-platform applications quickly and easily, creating mobile apps in
C/C++, HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, and deploy them simultaneously as
native apps to platforms such as Android and a host of other mobile and
smart TV devices. Games publishers and developers around the
globe--including Activision, EA Mobile, PopCap, Konami, Square Enix,
Namco Bandai and others--have chosen Marmalade to deploy their premium
franchises across smartphones, tablets and smart TVs.

"MIPS continues to gain traction in Android devices including tablets,
especially in emerging markets where the performance efficiency of the
MIPS architecture enables our customers to create high-performance,
feature-rich, high-quality devices at affordable price points," said
Gideon Intrater, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies.
"Marmalade has a significant developer audience and a powerful SDK that
enables these developers to code natively across platforms. This is an
appealing value proposition for developers, and we are pleased to work
with Marmalade to enable support for MIPS. This is yet another step in
our goal of enabling the entire universe of Android apps to work
seamlessly on MIPS."

"Given the increasing adoption of MIPS in Android devices, we see MIPS
as a valuable player in mobile going forward, especially in emerging
markets," said Tim Closs, CTO at Marmalade. "Marmalade is committed to
addressing all of the platforms of interest to our developer audience.
This continues our promise of being the world's leading solution for
developers to build cross-platform native apps targeting smartphones,
tablets and beyond."

Availability

The next official release of the Marmalade SDK with MIPS support is
expected to be available in August 2012.
