Could you show a link to MIPS desktops?
It's new to me.

Same for active SPARC64 desktops. Link?

I've been sure that PowerPC is the biggest desktop after x86/x64.

Other than that, IMO, MIPS is inferior to PPC.
(PPC is also far bigger in market share / bigger business http://www.brightsideofnews.com/2013/10/17/linley-processor-conference-arm-sweeps-next-gen-processor-designs/ ... unless there's cooking something that western world does not show)

btw. Does MIPS nowdays have SIMD? How about SPARC?
What's the state of RadeonHD or Nvidia support on those?
