These days it's rare to see a new hardware company break ground in the world of PCs, but 30 years ago, they were popping up all over the place, like moles in an arcade game. This was especially true in the graphics sector, with dozens of firms all fighting for a slice of the lucrative and nascent market.
One such company stood out from the crowd and for a brief few years, held the top spot for chip design in graphics acceleration. Their products were so popular that almost every PC sold in the early 90s sported their technology. But just ten years after its birth, the firm split up, sold off numerous assets, and rapidly faded from the limelight.
