Trident: "XP4 T3 will achieve 70% of Radeon 9700 perf&q

[KimB]

It is an amazing achievement to have a DX8.1 GPU with 30 million transistors ready for mass market. Even the Radeon 9000 Pro has 40 million odd transistors.

I'd say it will be if it actually has working DX8.1 features. Granted, I think there's a good possibility it will work as currently advertised, but I think the judgement on the status of Trident's achievement should be held off until cards ship.

could be a hardwired Tnl unit and vertex shader functionality by the host CPU.

But their charts say "hardware pixel/vertex shaders," leading one to believe the functionality is all on-chip.
