On-Chip ECC, it's an improvement but full ECC memory, which you can get for DDR5, also protects your data in transmission at 6400MT/s.

Additionally the on-chip EEC of DDR5 won't report the errors to your OS. ECC memory errors when corrected can be handled by the OS, and you'll even be informed of the uncorrectable 2 bit errors.

Want to protect for 2-bit errors? Make sure your platform has support for ECC-chipkill.
