A method and system for efficiently executing reads after writes in a memory. The system includes a memory controller and a memory core interfacing with the memory controller. The memory operates with a read data latency and a similar write data latency, and the memory immediately processes a read in a read-after-write situation. The system further includes a control circuit for controlling the memory and detecting an address collision between the read and a previously issued write and, in response thereto, stalling the memory by delaying issuance of the read to the memory until after the previously issued write completes.
