Intel had eDRAM (Crystal Well) for a while as the cache for their integrated Iris graphics.

From wikichip: The eDRAM silicon die is separate from the main Haswell die but is packaged together with it.

Crystal Well was only eDRAM in the marketing sense.

There have been other, actual eDRAM technologies that can be manufactured on some logic processes, however none of them are compatible with the state of the art TSMC 7nm logic process.
