Ddr5 has some form of built in ecc. Finally bringing it by default to the masses
Edit: sorry, this is misleading. See below or ignore. Ddr5 "ecc" that I am referring to is not the same as what one would think when saying ecc normally
- wmf 4y agoIt's not clear whether the resulting error rate is any better than DDR4, and I assume you can't monitor on-die ECC either.
- Teever 4y agoThis isn't accurate. It has onchip ECC to mitigate the fact that we're pushing the limits of hardware to eek out more performance from DDR5, but there isn't ECC between the ram and cpu, by default anyways. So this is one more thing that will confuse the consumer.
- toast0 4y agoThe masses had parity ram back in the day, then there was fake parity ram, then there was no parity. Internal correction codes have been normal for disk storage for a long time, but it's not really enough unless there's reporting and monitoring. What does consumer DDR5 do when there's a correctable error, what does it do when there's an uncorrectable error?
