Nintendo Wii with 90nm MoSys eDRAM from NEC

I'm surprised there is nothing about it here, and in the Press Release forum there seems to be only ATI and nVidia.

Thanks to Planet Gamecube: http://www.planetgamecube.com for the info.

Also take a look at: http://www.necel.com/process/en/edram.html
~500MHz is the ceiling for the 90nm eDRAM it seems.

The announcements confirm IGN's previous reports that the Wii would make use of 1T-SRAM both in an embedded and individual application. Our most up-to-date specs promise 16MB of eDRAM (integrated in NEC's LSI chips) and 88MB of 1T-SRAM (the "additional external memory chip"), for a total of 104MB of system RAM, not counting the allegedly accessible 512MB of Flash RAM or the ATI Hollywood GPU's on-board memory, which is said to amount to 3MB.

as I said in my WiiGeePeeYou thread, I will believe it when I see it.


IGN said in 1999 that Flipper would have 8 to 16 MB of embedded memory.
