What configuration can actually make use of 96 GB of RAM?

Looking at the framework page, I see a mention of 96 GB of RAM but there is no mention of what configuration can use that! Is it the Framework 13 with AMD or Intel or is it the Framework 16, which only has AMD with Ryzen 9?

2x48GB sticks: What memory (DRAM) parts are compatible with the Framework Laptop? (Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 1)

But you probably would have to source them yourself, since Framework doesn’t seem to have them in the configurator nor on the marketplace.

The Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1 officially supports 96 GiB of ram.

The Framework Laptop 13 with AMD Ryzen 7040 series as well as the Framework Laptop 16 with AMD Ryzen 7040 series unofficially supports 96 GiB of ram (AMD only officially supports ram modules with capacities that are powers of two, however 96 GiB requires 48 GiB modules and 48 is not a power of two, in practice 96 GiB works fine).

sorry typo

All CPUs should support 96GB RAM as it is below the maximum memory supported by the CPU, but keep in mind that 2x48GB is not an officially supported configuration for AMD. I have 96GB of RAM in my Framework 16 and it runs perfectly fine, it’s just that AMD doesn’t officially support it.
