For laptops, it looks like 14th gen jumped the standard support from 96GB to 192GB.

For desktops, 128GB has been supported for ages. Anything with DDR5 support is good for 192GB/256GB.

Wait, are you talking about the systems with separate memory modules?

I'm talking about these new things with ram integrated into the SoC...

But you were already told that this limit is just for this entry-level series of chips.

You asked what other series of Intel chips supported more memory, and the answer is all of them. If your question was supposed to not be about other chips, then your question makes no sense to me. And if that's the case then why did you bring up Xeons and your previous box?

It makes sense when you consider they will go ahead and add integrated ram in more SKUs in the future. Possibly all except the Xeons.

Okay, so you weren't actually asking "on what", it was part of your prediction, got it.
I last bought an x86 box like 3 years ago, and it was AMD. Iirc back then consumer Intel CPUs supported less maximum ram than amd, hence the Xeon reference.

At the moment I have no idea what either Intel or AMD sells exactly. But I expect the worst.
