We have to go back.
This is the most underappreciated and useful piece of hardware on any gaming console or computer.
It's a simple circuit meant to copy data from point A to point B a lot faster than the CPU can do, and in some cases doing some extra functions like copying during every television scanline or doing a bit of reorganizing.
It is the backbone on most special effects on the snes and genesis, it is the "blast processing" of the genesis, it is the thing that makes super FX even possible, it is the almost generational leap between the gameboy and gameboy color in performance, it is the thing that makes playstation tick and sort the triangles instead of relying on the CPU, it is the thing that glues all the sega saturn memory pools, it is the thing that makes N64 have no loadtimes, it is the thing that allows the PS2 and gamecube to have separate cache memories that speed up the rendering immensely, it is the thing that glues the PS3 SPEs, it is the thing that allows the Xbox 360 and Xbox one to operate the ED/ESram caches, and it is the the "velocity architecture" of the Xbox series X and whatever sony is calling their "magical" SSD solution.
