A method for preforming memory prefetching and scheduling prefetch commands inside the memory controller is disclosed. A set of prefetch commands is generated based on a stream of Read requests intended for a system memory, and the prefetch commands are stored in a low priority queue (LPQ). A set of regular commands is generated based on a stream of Read and Write requests intended for the system memory, and the regular commands are stored in a centralized arbiter queue. One of the prefetch commands is issued from the LPQ depending on the status of the other queues in the memory controller.
