Paul,

While any specific design may be late, hardware geometry engines are inevitable and needed for performance.

For the professional market, 3DLabs has been shipping geometry engines for a couple years now. Their 1st generation chip "Delta" shipped in '96, and their latest chip "Gamma" shipped in first half of '98. The latter is spec'd at 2 Gflops.

At .18 micron you have the ability to integrate the geometry engine and the renderer into a single chip and thus make this technology available at consumer price points.
