this hasn't really been true since Haswell. Now even low-end Celerons and Pentiums support it.
- wmf 11y agoOne may suspect that some Celeron/Pentium/i3 SKUs support ECC just so that Intel doesn't have to manage low-volume very-low-end E3 SKUs. And then you run into the fact that the cheapest server motherboard is double the price of a cheap desktop one.
- makomk 11y agoFrom what I can tell, some Celeron/Pentium/i3 SKUs support it because AMD was killing Intel in certain NAS applications thanks to the fact that their low-end chips had ECC.
