So are these MIPS cores not on par with the ARM cores in terms of compute "power" ?

Depends on the hardware, mghz to mghz I say MIPS generally performs in par with ARM but only in these latest MIPS SoC's.

Like my router

Depends on the hardware, mghz to mghz I say MIPS generally performs close to par with ARM but only in these latest MIPS SoC's.

Like my router has a 533mhz Broadcom MIPS based SoC and it doesn't perform quite as well as a 533mhz ARM based SoC's.
