And again still likely be right. 10 years ago consumer electronics marketing never included signal integrity stuff like eye diagrams but now pretty much every nvidia announcement with a new memory standard does. We're really pushing ever closer to channel bandwidth limits and corners that could be cut in the past can no longer be cut. ECC is more important than ever.
