This is actually a flyer for (what became) System In Package 'chips'.  Note the inclusion of SDRAM in the example SIP device in this flyer.

Some years ago before J-Core (and before Renesas, actually) we did some Voice over IP projects, including a small bump-in-the-wire size analog terminal adapter.  Hitachi did a SIP for us with IIRC a 7713 SH3 device and an SDRAM, but it never went to market.  Later versions included the 7619 SH2 based device, but that wasn't integrated into a SIP.

Fast forward to today, and on the small end of things, some micro controllers are actually the combination of a SPI FLASH with a die that has no FLASH, and therefore requires nothing but a standard logic process.  https://zeptobars.com/en/read/GD32F103CBT6-mcm-serial-flash-Giga-Devices <https://zeptobars.com/en/read/GD32F103CBT6-mcm-serial-flash-Giga-Devices>  A lot simpler than Hitachi's mutichip modules or SIP, but really effective.
