An apparatus is provided which comprises: a magnetic junction (e.g., a magnetic tunneling junction or spin valve). The apparatus further includes a structure (e.g., an interconnect) comprising spin orbit material, the structure adjacent to the magnetic junction; first and second transistors. The first transistor is coupled to a bit-line and a first word-line, wherein the first transistor is adjacent to the magnetic junction. The second transistor is coupled to a first select-line and a second word-line, wherein the second transistor is adjacent to the structure, wherein the interconnect is coupled to a second select-line, and wherein the magnetic junction is between the first and second transistors.
