Tenchusatsu, re "Imagine one core reading a chunk of data, and another core updating that same chunk of data."

But doesn't the updating core need to wait until the read operation is complete .. in order to avoid a corrupted read?

In terms of time wasted waiting, how does that differ from 'bus contention' waits?
