Memory component with adjustable core-to-interface data rate ratio

A memory component includes a memory bank comprising a plurality of storage cells and a data interface block configured to transfer data between the memory component and a component external to the memory component. The memory component further includes a plurality of column interface buses coupled between the memory bank and the data interface block, wherein a first column interface bus of the plurality of column interface buses is configured to transfer data between a first storage cell of the plurality of storage cells and the data interface block during a first access operation and wherein a second column interface bus of the plurality of column interface buses is configured to transfer the data between the first storage cell and the data interface block during a second access operation.
