Vostro 3530
Hi and excuse my poor english.
I bought one week ago a Dell Vostro 3530 with i7-1355U and 8GB RAM. I already ordered a dual channel kit of RAM (I have 2 slots for them) to upgrade it.
The question is: will the graphics change from Intel UHD in Iris XE?... that's because I read some opinions that Intel Iris XE needs dual channel RAM to reveal itself. i7-1355U is Iris XE eligible, according Intel website.
PS: this is my first Dell. I am a former Lenovo user, but I gave up buying Lenovo because the customer support became very bad and for me this is an eliminatory condition. I hope I didn't make a mistake choosing Dell. :)

Well I upgraded my RAM with a dual channel kit 2x8 GB and I confirm that Intel Iris XE works.
Now, I don't understand why the memory doesn't work at 3200 MHz. I know, in specifications they say the memory wprks at only 2666 MHz. But why? The processor supports 3200 MHz....
Dual channel memory runs at twice the bandwidth of single channel -- for systems with integrated video, remember the system RAM is your video RAM.
I believe you'll find for Iris, you must have a matched pair of modules. 8+16 will be dual channel for 16 G but the other 8 G will be single channel.

The system should run in Iris XE mode with dual channel memory enabled, yes.
