32GB (2x16GB) not yet being sold?

I noticed that some laptops with mobile Core i5 and Core i7 can handle 32GB but because some laptops only have two memory slots they can only get to this memory size by two 16GB SODIMM modules.

Would anyone have an idea when these will be sold?

And please, no "what do you need a 32GB in a laptop for?" questions.

You get a laptop with 4 204dimms.

Problem solved.

The average user doesn't need 32gbs for a laptop. I'm sure that's why. Also it would be very expensive.
 
I think the 32GB ability of the 3rd gen Core CPUS comes from 4 slots (4x8GB). I don't think a 16GB module will work (at least according to the spec)
 
It seems that it should be technically possible to create a 16GB DDR3 SO-DIMM now, (Using 16 8Gb DRAM chips) although I haven't seen any. It might be that the Intel CPU memory controller was only designed to handle 8GB per DIMM.
 
It appears that (2x16GB) 32GB will become available as a DDR3-1866 module by the time Intel Haswell starts shipping. CORSAIR and Kingston are already selling smaller capacity modules at that speed.

Well then they're probably meant for haswell. They're going to be crazy expensive.
 
how many FPS increase will i get in gta II going from 32GB ram to 64GB? will it effect anything since my os drive will be smaller then my system memory?
