Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to receive a transaction request to perform a transaction with the memory, the transaction request including a synchronization indication to indicate utilization of transaction synchronization to perform the transaction. Embodiments may include sending a request to a caching agent to perform the transaction, receiving a response from the caching agent, the response to indicate whether the transaction conflicts or does not conflict with another transaction, and performing the transaction if the response indicates the transaction does not conflict with the other transaction, or delaying the transaction for a period of time if the response indicates the transaction does conflict with the other transaction.
