Doesn't intel make ECC available on the i3 line of CPUs?

I was going to say no but I just checked and at least ONE latest generation i3 processor supports ECC https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=208656,209735,209736,208074,208079,208920,208652,208651 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?pro... https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/208074/intel-core-i3-1115gre-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/208074/... Problem is this processor is an Embedded processor so probably not for us > Industrial Extended Temp, Embedded Broad Market Extended Temp My understanding is Intel does not support ECC on the desktop unless you pay extra.

  Yeah, that appears to be a BGA-packaged processor designed to be permanently soldered to the board of some embedded device, not something that you can install in your desktop at all. I'm not sure why Intel decided to brand their embedded processors with ECC as i3, though I suspect the reason this range exists at all is because companies were going with competitors like AMD instead due to their across-the-board ECC support.

  That i3 is for file servers.

They used to support ECC in the desktop i3 lineup, current gen does not have ECC except in some embedded SKUs. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/199280/intel-core-i3-10320-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-60-ghz.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/199280/...
