Earlie, This may interest you.
Found these on Nintendo and MoSys sites.

Dolphin surfaces in 2001

MoSys' patented 1T-SRAM technology is used in Dolphin to embed large, very high performance memory directly onto the ArtX graphics chip.

Note also the CPU is a modified IBM Power PC to be built in Burlington on copper process.

SUNNYVALE, CA and TOKYO, JAPAN, January 31, 2000 --- MoSys, Inc. and NEC Corporation (NEC) (NASDAQ: NIPNY) (FTSE: 6701q.1) announced today the licensing of MoSys' 1T-SRAM technology for use by NEC's 1st LSI Memory Division in high-density application-specific memories that will notably count Nintendo's next-generation game console among its future applications.

Interesting that MoSys is an IP company claiming many patents. ArtX is also an IP company and is in the process of being acquired by ATI.

A review of the MoSys site indicates this technology may find homes in other SoS devices. The claimed speeds are very fast. From what I get the memory is 1T per cell DRAM with refresh hidden from the system, looking like SRAM to the system.
