Abstract
An embodiment of an apparatus may comprise one or more substrates and a controller coupled to the one or more substrates, the controller including a read data buffer, a content-addressable memory, and circuitry to track both prefetch read requests and non-prefetch read requests for a memory with the content-addressable memory and to store both prefetch entries and non-prefetch entries in the read data buffer. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
