The (Optional) Triangle Setup Unit (TSU), which provides additional performance by offloading polygon setup functions from the host processor.

Did they actually make that or was it dropped?

These 1994 ambition papers are very cool. 3Dfx knew what they were doing back then. Then they stuck into 16-bit color rehash mode and got ahead of themselves in the marketing department instead of completing the quests on the paper :(
