Yes, they give the current VooDoo Rush a run for its money. About
200,000 polygons with all features on per second. Thats nothing.
Highlander will do around 1,000,000 polygons with all features on per
second. What are you complaining about? Sega got the more poweful
chip. Intel is using cheap, not powerful technology(when it gets
released in about 8 months) to put on all intel motherboards. Big
deal. It will not be anywhere near as poweful as other 3d cards at its
release. Geesh, talk about talking out of your ass.

Real 3d is overpriced, unimpressive technology in terms of the home
market. The chipset Intel is designing around it is nowhere near
impressive. About VooDoo Rush quality. Do you really think that is
going to stack up against the next gen of 3d boards?

So Sega chose Highlander over Real3D for its next machine; it
was probably the worst mistake Sega maded in years, probably
even worse than the decision to upgrade Saturn to dual CPU
machine. While Sega can't see the benefit of Real3D, somebody
else does; it is Intel.
Intel just bought Chip&Tech for $450 million and is probably
going after Real3D as well. Chip&Tech supplied 2D core for
Intel740, while Lockheed Martin supplied 3D core. Intel likes
Intel740 so much that it wants to own both engines.
While Intel worked with Lockheed Martin for only a year, Intel
already likes Real3D so much that they want to buy it. At the
same time, Sega worked with Lockheed Martin for six years, yet
it dumped Real3D and went with Highlander for its next console
in the end.
I am so sad that Sega can't see the advantages Real3D offers,
while Intel does. While Sega complains about Real3D's high cost,
Intel's going to pump out millions of dirt cheap Intel740 that
give Voodoo cards a run for their money in 3D performance,
