Jan 6, 2019 · The TMS34010 graphics processor was the first fully programmable processor to directly interface with DRAMs and the first processor to use the VRAM (a DRAM with a high-speed shift register and the precursor to today’s GDRAM and the SDRAM). The TMS320C80 was the first processor to directly interface with the Synchronous DRAM.
