Sun Elite3D, what's it like?

[Gunhead]

I'm curious about this 3D accelerator by Sun. I've found some stuff on it, like it has a whole bunch of 0.35u chips on it, a 400MPix/s fillrate, 15MB of funky 3D-RAM (pixel update logic inside memory chips), hardware acceleration for OGL 1.2, etc, but I was wondering if anybody has practical experience of the performance of this behemoth, like the main strengths and weaknesses (and whether there are some especially noteworthy architectural peculiarities behind them) and just generally how something like this compares against today's PC hardware.

Thanks in advance for any input!

When you see reference to 15MB of 3D-RAM it smells like Mitsubishi 3dpro/ E&S REALimage 2100 hardware. Used also on FireGL 4000, and AccelGraphics and E&S cards.
