That new chipset would have a chunky pixel format similar to mode13h (1 byte per pixel, indexing a color palette - and a lot of other chunky pixel formats from 4 pixels per byte up to 3 bytes per pixel). There are even hardware-compressed pixel formats mentioned (on page 6) which provide 6x and 12x data compression, which looks quite similar to today's block-compressed texture formats (more details are on page 123). (also 68030 and 68040 CPUs were still competitive with 386 and 486)
