Abstract
A buffer integrated circuit (IC) chip is disclosed. The buffer IC chip includes host interface circuitry to receive a read command to retrieve read data from a memory. Memory interface circuitry couples to the memory. Data freshness authentication circuitry performs a freshness verification operation on the read data. Read data forwarding circuitry, in a skid mode of operation, transmits the read data to the host prior to completion of the freshness verification operation.
