Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Yes, the dual-channel capability and RAM efficiency might be affected; to take advantage of dual-channel memory, the RAM modules must be matched (dual channel requires pairs), and the memory modules must match in capacity, speed, latency, number of chips and sides, and the size of rows and columns. If memory modules that do not match are inserted, they will usually work, but at the specifications of the slowest module. The Lenovo - LOQ 15.6" Gaming Laptop model 82XV002LUS has two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots (dual-channel capable), 1x 8GB SO-DIMM DDR5-5200 installed, and supports up to 32GB DDR5-5200; therefore to take advantage of the dual-channel capability 1x8GB SO-DIMM DDR5-5200 can be added to match the installed RAM or 2x16GB SO-DIMM DDR5-5200 instead.
