Derivatives of the R3000 for non-embedded applications include:
R3000A - A further development by MIPS introduced in 1989. It operated at clock frequencies up to 40MHz.
PR3400 - Developed by Performance Semiconductor, introduced in May 1991, also at up to 40MHz. It integrated the Performance Semiconductor PR3000A and PR3010A onto a single die.
Use in real-time systems
The MIPS R3000 could be used for real-time computing; indeed, an editor of Computer Design journal characterized the R3000 as "about the cleanest of the RISC processors to implement a real-time operating system".[2] It was possible for embedded implementations of the R3000 to customize the processor in certain ways, such as adding debugging facilities or adding traps on unimplemented features and opcodes.[11] The R3000 was used as an embedded systems microprocessor by a number of companies:
LSI Logic, with their LR33000 for embedded control applications, with a 50Mz processor, 8K instruction cache and 1K data cache,[11] including an LR33000 Pocket Rocket Evaluation Board;[12] also with their larger LR3000, with memory management included[6]
MIPS Computer Systems itself, with their R3200-6 CPU board[12]
Lockheed Sanders, with their STAR MVP R3000/R3010 board that contains a 25 MHz processor, 128K instruction and data caches, and a 4-word write buffer[13]
