I'm looking for this chip:
ARM920 or ARM926. NOT in BGA format (TQFP or LQFP) SDRAM controller LCD controller able to drive at least 320x200 color.
Most ARM9 chips are either BGA or does not have an LCD controller. The LCD interface requires many more pins but I'm sure the maximum of 208 pins can include all the important ARM9 pins plus an LCD bus. I do not need many GPIO pins and 16-bit memory buses are fine.
SD card interface, IDE, ethernet etc are fine.

Ask Atmel or your local distributor?

NXP (was Phillips) have the LPC2478 which comes in QFP and has a good LCD controller plus SDRAM control. However, it is ARM7 so that might not be powerful enough for what you need. Are you sure you need ARM9?
It's funny to call 208 pins Low Pin Count. Or perhaps it's Low Power Circuit?

Buy a DIMM module from
Only AT91RM9200 and SAM9260 has QFP and none of them has the LCD controller.

Perhaps for this processor they changed the 'L' to Large but didn't tell anybody?

LPC == Low PIN count Low PART count Low Power consumption
depending on which part of the history or parts you are talking about
Initially it was low PIN count when they (Now eX Philips :-) started with the LPC700 range of 8051's that may have been designed to go up against the small PICS. However as you have 200+ pin parts and 32 bit parts.......
Isn't marketing fun. Who cares what it stood/stands for the LPC is the NXP designator for their chips.
BTW what do CPM, PDP MPM, PLM etc stand for?

That link is not working, which is not surprising condisdering that ronetix is a company based in Austria. Ok, you were close with Switzerland (.ch) but still. An URL that would work is
Too bad they do not publish prize information for their products. A real turn off IMHO.

Is it possible? It sure is! Semiconductor companies have to sell what the volume customers need. They need mostly small devices. Small devices with high pincount are usually in BGA packages. So, if a company makes a xQFP package with > 200 pins, there are probably not enough customers to make this a profitable device. Would you (and others) be willing to pay a much higher price for a xQFP package? The chips became so inexpensive because manufacturing has been streamlined to the high volumes only. This pricing make the chips interesting for hobby projects but there are those tough to handle packages.... Well it is a catch 22.
