Apparatuses, methods, and systems for processor non-write-back capabilities

Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to processor non-write-back capabilities are described. In one embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of logical processors, a control register comprising a non-write-back lock disable bit, a cache shared by the plurality of logical processors, a bus to couple the cache to a memory to service a memory request for the memory from the plurality of logical processors, and a memory controller to disable a non-write-back lock access of the bus for a read-modify-write type of the memory request issued by a logical processor of the plurality of logical processors when the non-write-back lock disable bit is set to a first value, and implement the non-write-back lock access of the bus for the read-modify-write type of the memory request when the non-write-back lock disable bit is set to a second value.
