Imagination Tech raises MIPS offer to $100 million Dec 17th 2012, 07:56 LONDON | Mon Dec 17, 2012 2:56am EST LONDON (Reuters) - British chip designer Imagination Technologies on Monday agreed to buy MIPS for $100 million after it outbid Ceva Inc for a second time. Imagination and Ceva have been battling to buy the operating business of MIPS since last month when a $60 million agreed offer from the British company triggered a bidding war. Imagination's $100 million offer trumps a $90 million bid from Ceva last week. MIPS was a pioneer of 32-bit and 64-bit processing, and its technology is in blu-ray players, digital televisions and video games consoles such as the Sony PlayStation 2. The California-based company agreed to sell 498 patents for $350 million to a consortium of technology companies organized by patent holding company Allied Security Trust and led by ARM when it agreed the initial Imagination deal.
