MIPS provides highly scalable RISC processor IP

That's not what mature means. Mature is that all edge cases have been explored, all kinds of random numerical computations have been expressed, tool chains & debuggers exists in many forms and are well supported, the chips have scaled from dish washers to RAD hardened satellites, etc etc

I'm sorry, I am the GP who used the word "mature" up there. This is not what I meant. I was talking about there being a greater software community around RISC-V compared to MIPS these days. E.g. having kernel, software, compiler support etc...

My bad if I misused some terminology.

Yes there’s certainly more momentum right now for RISC-V. MIPS is the definition of mature, so mature it’s nearly dead.
