The 32 bit PIC is a MIPS.
The NIOS CPU (that can be programmed into an Altera FPGA) is very
similar to a MIPS.
I suppose a basic MIPS is the straight-forward (=32 bit instruction
word, tenths of General purpose registers) 32 Bit CPU that uses the
lowest hardware resources, so the chip and FPGA designers love it.
OTHO there is this very interesting "ZPU" architecture (8 bit
instruction set only two (PC and SP) registers) the needs even less
hardware.
