Additional Notes
- The presence of on board memory indicates that a portion of the system RAM is non removable and cannot be replaced in the event of hardware failure.
- Dual channel performance benefits only apply to the capacity where the SO-DIMM module matches the soldered on board memory amount.
- Total memory expansion is limited to the single available physical slot which necessitates replacing the existing module rather than adding a second one.
- The Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 (AMD) utilizes a hybrid memory architecture where the maximum capacity is reached by installing a 32 GB module alongside an 8 GB soldered base.
- Installing a module with a frequency higher than 3200 MHz results in automatic downclocking to match the hardcoded speed of the soldered memory chips.
- Asymmetrical memory configurations exceeding the soldered capacity operate in flex mode which may impact integrated GPU bandwidth for graphics intensive tasks.
- Accessing the SO-DIMM slot requires the removal of the entire base cover assembly which involves releasing plastic internal clips sensitive to mechanical stress.
- Latency timings are governed by the slowest common denominator between the permanent on board chips and the user installed expansion card.
