1.5.1 Memory Configurations
The processor supports the following types of memory organization:
• Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world
applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both
SO-DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the
other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed
SO-DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
• Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth
operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single SO-DIMM is
installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width can vary from
one channel to the other. If different speed SO-DIMMs are used between channels, the
slowest memory timing will be used.
