AMD will use the same die for its server CPUs, so ECC support is on chip anyway. I see no reason why they should turn it off in the Ryzen CPUs launched today.

- dmm 10y agoIt looks like you are (thankfully!) right. The CEO of AMD confirmed ECC is enabled on the consumer chips. This is an awesome release overall! https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5x4hxu/we_are_amd_creators_of_athlon_radeon_and_other/def6vs2/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5x4hxu/we_are_amd_crea...
- throwawayish 10y agoThe IMC in almost any Intel CPU also could do ECC, but on most consumer SKUs there's that pesky little configuration flag set by the factory telling it not to. Why? Because Intel can, that's why.
