Yep.
Another fact worth noting is that it's very hard to implement a T&L sollution that works with tile-based rendering.
I remember PowerVR developing some kind of external T&L unit for the Kyro II though. It was labelled KyroII SE.

16-bit quality rules. (Yes, I know that the chip uses internal 32-bit rendering)
