Seriously, simply because of curiosity - are MIPS CPUs used in any
kind of "general purpose" machines?

I'm not aware of any multi-core general-purpose MIPS box.
Low-end MIPS CPUs are ubiquitous in low-end networking gear.
High-end multicore MIPS chips are mostly going into mid-to-high end
networking gear like firewalls.


However several companies are using FreeBSD as a base kernel for their
appliance, based on these chips.
So they are of direct interest to us.


They are probably not a very good fit for general purpose computing.
