A 12GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM: a middle step between 8GB and 16GB, or 24GB when you pair two
Quick Specs
- Capacity: 12GB (1 x 12GB)
- Type: DDR5 262-pin SO-DIMM, non-ECC unbuffered
- Speed: 5600MHz (PC5-44800)
- Timings: CL46-46-46-90
- Voltage: 1.1V
An in-between capacity for DDR5 laptops
Patriot's 12GB module fills the gap between 8GB and 16GB. Paired with another 12GB stick it gives 24GB in dual-channel, and alongside an existing 8GB module it lifts a laptop to 20GB. That suits people who have outgrown 8GB but do not need 32GB. Note that 12GB is a non-binary capacity, and support depends on the laptop's processor and BIOS, so check your laptop's compatibility list or update its BIOS before buying. For dual-channel, a matching 12GB module is the safest partner. In a laptop rated for 4800MHz it runs at 4800MHz.
Check your laptop first
This is a 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM, so it only fits laptops with a DDR5 SO-DIMM slot. It will not go into a desktop motherboard, and it cannot replace DDR4, DDR3 or DDR3L memory, because each generation is keyed differently. Many thin-and-light laptops have their memory soldered to the board with no free slot, so check your model's manual or open the base panel before ordering. Also check the laptop's maximum supported memory speed: if it is lower than 5600MHz, the module simply runs at the slower speed, and a mixed pair runs at the slower module's settings.
