    So 20 years laters I can say it is analogous to MAX-Q cards that we see today? Seems same logic behind it.

    The logic behind MAX-Q is severely reduce clock speeds and voltage to reduce power consumption. This is analogous to entry-level gpus such as tu117 in the gtx 1650. Cut down the hardware to reduce cost and power consumption, and have slightly lower clocks to hit tdp targets.
