I doubt it. They were probably talking about 128-bits of filesystem address space (which Solaris has, for example) which is useful in enterprise as every user and device can have its own 64-bit of virtual address space which apparently reduces coding overheads on certain software.

Modern x86 processors would not benefit from external 128-bit memory addressing. Internally, the SSE registers are already 128-bit.
