The IRS and your state operate independently of each other and therefore, the time frame in which each return is accepted and processed can vary. It is not unusual that you received your state return before your federal.
The IRS generally releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-file has been accepted. To get the most up-to-date status of your federal return, please visit the IRS Where's My Refund? site. You can check the status of your return every 24 hours as they do update the site daily - usually in the overnight hours.
