Going back to a thread from a week or two ago, and just for the sake
of providing a datapoint, while looking for some other IC data in a
Motorola 1969 Semiconductor Databook, I noticed:
  MC1170L PMOS 64-bit RAM
  - organised as 16 words of 4 bits
  - binary addressable (4 address lines, 4-bidir data lines)

Also ran across mention of:
 "Intel's first commercial chip, the 3101, a 64-bit static RAM
  using Schottky TTL"
dated at 1969, at:

(Nice page if one is interested in early IC developments.)
