1. A processor comprising:
a plurality of geometry circuits;
wherein responsive to a draw call, each geometry circuit of the plurality of geometry circuits is configured to:
independently calculate a location of a portion of geometry data related to one or more graphics primitives of the draw call;
fetch the portion of the geometry data, based on the calculated location; and
process the fetched portion of the geometry data.
