The Crucial SODIMM, with a capacity of 128 GB, has been programmed with one JEDEC profile at 5600 MT/s CL 45-45-45 1.10V VDD/VDDQ. JEDEC profiles guarantee compatibility with all leading motherboard and laptop manufacturers. It would be better if the profile had tighter timings, but it wouldn’t significantly impact the user’s experience, and not every device would be compatible.
Due to the limited availability of high-capacity memory modules, most devices won’t have the Crucial 128GB kit on the QVL; however, it should be compatible with all devices that support 96GB memory kits. There is, literally, one SODIMM memory kit on the retail market, and it’s the one we test today. Although it’s designed for DDR5-5600, it’s not slower compared to the competition, which mainly offers lower-frequency SODIMM modules or significantly lower capacities.
The specifications for the module and general profile are shown in the AIDA64 software.
The memory kit has been tested on a Minisforum X1 AI mini PC with an octa-core Ryzen 7 255 CPU. This PC doesn’t officially support 128GB RAM, but it recently received a BIOS update that adds support for 96GB RAM. It still works without issues with Crucial 128GB SODIMM and has passed multiple hours of stability tests.
We will examine the package and memory modules in more detail on the next page.
