Or the ST or the...

Which ever you can find the right peripherals that has a nice dev board
and tools.

Sticking with the ARM core, this today from STm is notable
[Not quite a single chip, but almost..]

  330MHz and 2MBytes of DRAM, plus smallish FPGA - and the
semantics games start about a first with 'embedded FPGA fabric' :)
which hinges on if you call it ARM+FPGA or FPGA+ARM.
  It does seem a better mix of CPU/memory/ProgLogic than
earlier offerings.

[Seems Xilinx buying Triscend was not enough to prevent
ARM+FPGA from hitting the streets..]
