In benchmarks MIPS usually means "we arbitrarily say that reference machine X runs this benchmark at Y MIPS". Then, for a different machine Z, Z_MIPS = Y * (X_TIME / Z_TIME). For example, the 7zip benchmark used in this article is "normalized with results of Intel Core 2 CPU" [1], or the famous Dhrystone integer benchmark's "VAX MIPS" [2]. Still I agree it's weird terminology. It would make more sense to use the true units of the benchmark, or just say "performance relative to reference machine".
