| 1. A semiconductor memory device comprising:
a memory core to store data;
a first set of interconnect resources to receive write data; and
a second set of interconnect resources to receive:
a write command associated with the write data; and
information indicating whether mask information is included with the write command, wherein the mask information specifies
whether to selectively write portions of the write data to the memory core.
