Of course GFX chips have evolved (even if the Copper is still Unique in it's aspect), in fact GFX chip evolution today is seen as a given, not a revolution anymore.
In fact on screen differences between same game's version on Amiga, Atari, SNES and Genesis were much more evident than today's comparisons from PS3-X360 versions of the same game.

Interestly, looking at the GC/Wii gpu core, it has fixed-function "shading" (aka the TEV unit), but essentially it's the evolution of copper lists down to the texture level. However, the fad is "programmable shader units"...

The primary existence of ATI and NVIDIA are to offer GPUs. There’s very little chance that CBM could have matched ATI’s and NVIDIA’s corporate focus. Why have specialized chips when you specialized corporations i.e. allocating its entire corporate resource on designing GPUs?_________________
