Abstract
In one embodiment a memory controller is provided. The memory controller comprises a predictive logic circuit to predict an increase in a current operating temperature of a memory device coupled to the memory controller, based on memory cycles to be issued to the memory device; and a temperature control circuit to perform a temperature control operation wherein if the sum of the current operating temperature and the predicted increase in temperature is greater than a threshold temperature associated with the memory device, then the number of memory cycles issued to the memory device is reduced.
