You buy them the same way you buy ARM cores - you contact the supplier,
make your agreement for multiple millions of dollars, and get sent some
VHDL files.
If you want to buy ready-made chips with MIPS Aptiv on board, you'll
have to wait a while. And even then, you might not be able to - many of
MIPS' traditional customers sell devices only in huge MOQs.

Great, so where do I buy some ?
If you claim they "compete with ARM nicely", there must be someone shipping them ?

I'm an ARM user and I hope MIPS does very well with these new cores. Healthy competition is good for us all.

They look impressive and compete with ARM nicely.
Article includes a roadmap comparison and power dissipation figures.
