Only for those not following history of graphics chips.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS34010

> The TMS34010 can execute general purpose programs and is supported by an ANSI C compiler.

> The successor to the TMS34010, the TMS34020 (1988), provides several enhancements including an interface for a special graphics floating point coprocessor, the TMS34082 (1989). The primary function of the TMS34082 is to allow the TMS340 architecture to generate high quality three-dimensional graphics. The performance level of 60 million vertices per second was advanced at the time.

Like these, there were several others other the IBM PC own history.
