IBM is making embedded DRAM (or merged DRAM/logic) chips. These chips provide benefits are useful for digital video processing.

IBM taping out DRAM/logic IC

Has embedded DRAM technology finally arrived?
IBM Microelectronics thinks so. In April, IBM's
foundry will tape out its first merged
DRAM-with-logic chip for a com system
customer, David Lammers writes in EE Times.

These chips will be made on 0.25-micron lines at
IBM's two Vermont fabs, and the same DRAM
cores and test technology, with some modification,
will be used later by its ASIC group. IBM is hardly
a pioneer; but its timing is good. This technology is
about to move well beyond its established niche in
graphics to controllers for networking, games,
hard-disk and CD-ROM drives, ink-jet and laser
printers, and single-chip solutions for portable
products from PDAs to digital still cameras.
