    Abstract: Bandwidth efficiency is improved by reducing time to access a cache line in a DRAM chip. A memory array in the DRAM chip is internally segmented into two equal size portions, each portion having a plurality of banks. Each respective portion is internally segmented into two equal size sub-portions. A cache line in the memory array is accessed by accessing a first half of the cache line in parallel in all of the sub-portions and accessing a second half of the cache line in parallel in all of the sub-portions of the memory array after a gap time.
