  • Patent number: 11977737
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques to improve latency for gaming applications are described. The memory system may be configured to operate in a gaming mode that may enable faster load times. In some cases, the gaming mode may enable faster game download from an external server. In some cases, the gaming mode may enable faster transferring of files between volatile storage and non-volatile storage at the memory system. The gaming mode may enable faster read and write operations, and faster switching between one or more gaming applications. The memory system may additionally or alternatively be configured to operate in a non-gaming mode which may improve reliability and retention for other, non-gaming applications. The memory system may switch between the two modes depending on an application being executed by the system.
