Various technologies for efficiently storing and retrieving streaming data are described. Bits of data (e.g., P bits of data) are received and separated into most significant bits (MSB) of data and least significant bits (LSB) of data. Further, the MSB of data and the LSB of data are respectively packed into a first word and a second word. The first word is stored in a first area of a frame buffer and the second word is stored in a second area of the frame buffer. As a result, data is managed in a more efficient way to reduce memory bandwidth requirement.
