A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of banks. A data path may be divided into a read data path and a write data path, therefore, parallel processing of write and read commands are possible. The semiconductor memory device may include an address bank buffer, address buffer, column predecoder and/or a decoder. The semiconductor memory device may begin execution of a write command in a bank in one clock cycle and begin execution of a read command in the following clock cycle, therefore, bus efficiency is increased and/or write-to-read turn around time is reduced.
