There are three main components to a Mips-equipped helmet:
In an impact, the foam liner dissipates force. Additinoally, the elastomeric attachment system stetches to allow the foam liner to rotate independently around the low-friction liner and your head.
Although the Mips system only rotates a few millimeters, that movement may reduce the amount of rotation force that could be transferred to your brain.
