I have always wondered how ARM succeeded when MIPS was already around. Anyone know ?

Just guessing, but it could have something to do with ARM not doing actual hardware. Instead they license either chip designs or the ISA to anyone willing to pay.

In a way it is reminiscent of the z80 clones that was all over the place in the 80s.
