Abstract: Systems and method are directed to reducing power consumption of a memory based on enabling partial page access. Based on system conditions such as operating frequency, access size for one or more memory access requests are determined. The access size is programmed in a mode register of the memory and one or more commands are issued for accessing the memory based on the programmed access size. Alternatively, the access sizes are specified within the one or more commands issued to the memory for accessing partial pages. Activating only the portion of a page corresponding to the partial page access reduces power consumption.
