The on-die ECC for DDR5 is typically: * mandatory (an hypothetical DDR5 without could have error rates so high it would basically not work) * an implementation detail (if the raw error rate was not that high, there would be no on-die ECC) * not reported to the CPU It's a complete different beast than real ECC. It's not that it is bad or concerning, it is that it does not provide RAS services and, like ECC-less DDR4, should be reserved for consumer electronics for basically only tasks like entertainment. Actually, in a better world most consumer electronic should have real ECC (instead of none at all or implementation detail on-die) -- but sadly for now vendors do not do that. |
