I think they are talking about Xbow's sprite record at some point, their numbers are off but the interviewer mention sprite crunching in a way :)
I think if there's any questions left about VICII inner workings Albert is aproachable now ? He even showed up in some American c= retro events. |

He also mentioned badlines (although not that word).
It would be interesting to update him with recent VIC-II advancements 😅 The father should be aware of what his child became.
Seems like he was aware of the possibility of sprite multiplexing at the design stage. |

aware? I'm sure that was intentional. not that it needs anything extra on the chip, but the way it works makes it possible. |

Another video with Bil Herd and Albert Charpentier, from Vintage Computer Festival East 2022 in late April:

(There's some discussion about the internal clock speed of the VIC-II at 41:15.)
And here's part 1 and 2 of a "panel discussion" at the same event, featuring other Commodore engineers as well:
