MIP V ( 3D Graphics )

MIPS V is the fifth version of the architecture, announced on 21 October 1996 at the Microprocessor Forum 1996.[12] MIPS V was designed to improve the performance of 3D graphics applications. In the mid-1990s, a major use of non-embedded MIPS microprocessors were graphics workstations from SGI. MIPS V was complemented by the integer-only MIPS Digital Media Extensions (MDMX) multimedia extensions, which were announced on the same date as MIPS"
