You missed a bit:...

Thank you for looking that up!

So, to summarize your post and others about the design, there's no MIPS in this MIPS other than the four letters...

[willmore]

At this point, I'd settle for *any* sub $100 SBC....

Who owns MIPS these days? Does anyone trust them enough to do business with them?

[willmore]

Two things:
LZ4 like core speed. It's not much bound by main memory BW nor L3 BW. So, L1 and IPC make LZ4 happy.

Triple/quad channel...

LZ4 doesn't use a dictionary--it only makes references to the input stream and the output stream. And, yes, of course, these will benefit from some caching...

[willmore]

Well, yes, that's exactly it. This particular program just doesn't need much cache as it's designed to work well on very small processors without any...

[willmore]

LZ4 is very cache friendly. It reads through its input buffer and coppies that to the output buffer and occasionally reads back a little bit in the output...
