System-specific DDR3 upgrade

This kit delivers 16 GB of DDR3 memory in two 8 GB SO-DIMM modules built for the Lenovo Ideapad Y470 0855-Xxx series. Each stick uses the 204-pin form factor and runs at 1.5 V without ECC or registered buffering. The unbuffered 2Rx8 design targets notebook owners who need the maximum factory-supported capacity for this platform.

DDR3 1333 MHz bus ceiling

The memory operates at PC3-10600 speed with a CAS latency of CL9 and 9-9-9 timings. Bandwidth tops out at the DDR3 1333 MT/s data rate, so applications that scale with higher memory throughput will not gain from faster modules. The platform chipset and memory controller set this hard limit regardless of the DIMMs installed.

16 GB kit capacity and headroom

Two 8 GB modules fill both SO-DIMM slots, reaching the 16 GB total the Y470 can address. Everyday multitasking, office suites and older titles run comfortably within this space. Workloads that demand more than 16 GB — such as large virtual machines, heavy video timelines or modern AAA game textures — will exhaust the available memory and force paging to storage.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16 GB kit or a single 8 GB module for my Ideapad Y470?

The 16 GB kit contains two matched 8 GB sticks that run in dual-channel mode, doubling bandwidth compared to a single module.

What does the 1333 MHz rating deliver in everyday use on this laptop?

At 1333 MHz with CL9 timing the memory moves data at the PC3-10600 rate, giving the Y470 its maximum supported memory throughput.

Is the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface the limiting factor for speed?

Yes, the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor caps the upgrade at 1333 MHz; faster DDR3 modules will down-clock to this speed.
