I'm having a hard time finding a bullet point list of all it's features.

Some articles are telling me it's a match for Haswell others are telling me it has AVX2. None of them seem that reliable. Do you happen to know?

It's a MIPS CPU. There's no point comparing it to x86.

The article explicitly says it supports x86. So I'm trying to understand to what extent?

Ah ok. Well, I guess it's just a slow emulation, but we won't know for sure until someone runs some benchmarks.
