So it is kind of reverse of mips.

yep. contrary to RISC, it was based on 64 bits 15 years ago. higher semantics. multiple operations in one word. but way too complicated for software running on it to take advantage of its uniqueness.

mips released 64bit 18 years ago. But it still uses RISC principle.

I may be wrong but I think there would be a demand for invesment bank / department to use DirectCompute that actually do the floating point calculation on video card. So if you are looking for job / business opportuntiy, try it out.
