It's been years since since I read the book "Console Wars", but if memory serves me correctly SGI shopped their tech to SEGA first before Nintendo secured it for the N64.

Yep, Sega had a look at SGI's offering and rejected it. One of the many reasons they did so was because they thought the cost would be too high due to the die size of the chips.

Kind of funny considering the monstrosity the Saturn ended up becoming.
