NEC Electronics and MoSys, Inc. have officially announced the inclusion of their respective memory technologies in the Wii console from Nintendo. The companies confirmed that they are supplying Nintendo with 1T-SRAM technology and eDRAM technology, respectively.

The new system LSI chips featuring NEC's 90-nanometer CMOS-compatible embedded DRAM (eDRAM) will be manufactured using "advanced technologies" on NEC Yamagata's 300-millimeter production lines, and are "designed to provide advanced graphics functions" for the forthcoming Wii console.
