<p>A reduced latency memory system that prevents memory bank conflicts. The reduced latency memory system receives a read request and write request. The read request is then handled by simultaneously fetching data from a main memory and a cache memory. The address of the read request is compared with a cache tag value and if the cache tag value matches the address of the read request, the data from the cache memory is served. The write request is stored and handled in a subsequent memory cycle.</p>
