Abstract
A method and system are provided for implementing enhanced memory performance management with configurable bandwidth versus power usage in a chip stack of memory chips. A chip stack of memory chips is connected in a predefined density to allow a predefined high bandwidth connection between each chip in the stack, such as with through silicon via (TSV) interconnections. Large-bandwidth data transfers are enabled from the memory chip stack by trading off increased power usage for memory performance on a temporary basis.
