A magnetic memory system includes a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) including a plurality of magnetic memory banks and operative to store data during a write operation initiated by a write command. The magnetic memory system further includes a first-in-first-out (FIFO) interface device coupled to the MRAM and including a plurality of FIFOs Each of the magnetic memory banks is coupled to a respective one of the plurality of FIFOs, the FIFO being operative to queue write commands on a per magnetic memory bank basis and further operative to issue the queued write commands at a time when the MRAM is not in use, wherein concurrent write operations are performed to at least two of the plurality of magnetic memory banks.
