Will 16Gb RAM be available in the 2011 MacBook Pro?

I know that the specification indicates support for a maximum of 8 GB (2 4 GB sticks), but maybe someone had experience installing two 8 GB sticks in an early 2011 MacBook Pro? Will it work?
And please don't ask why I need so much :)

I installed a Corsair Value Select 2x8GB DDR3 PC3-10600 KIT (CMSO16GX3M2A1333C9) for $77 in my MacBook Pro at the end of 2011 without any problems at all, 17 tabs with a video in youtube, in three browsers, and a few more just tabs, 2 movies in HD quality in different players, IDE, Navicat Premium, Photospho (site design), toy, iTunes, and a few more programs. It took 8GB of memory, and the processor is 12% busy. An excellent upgrade turned out, before that there were 4 and two browsers with 20 tabs with regular pages, IDE and Navicat Premium, and braking was already felt. Now it responds with lightning speed, no matter what I do.

16Gb will work. We didn't try OWC memory sticks, but they launched them on Samsung sticks.
But on the ELPIDA slats - no.

Judging by the fact that MacSales sell 16GB Memory Kit for Early'2011 , it will work.

Isn't it possible to find identical dice to the desired ones in an "offline" store (if you intend to eventually buy via the Internet), come with a laptop and try it on the spot?

here is 16 gigabytes of memory for 300 dollars, if you are not afraid of delivery from the states of hiss or some other service

So I ask - why is 16 better than 8? I also want to add memory, so I think I can take 16 at once?

Did the video work better with 16GB?

I took off the old bars - looked at the timings, bought them with the same timings, but of a larger volume, sold the old ones. Everything works perfectly. I even set not 1333, but 1600 and it started up, although the manual says that it will not start ... In general, marketing ....
