Is it like the old threadripper cpu where it can take ecc ram but doesn’t actually do the error correcting?

- bryanlarsen 3y agoYou'll have to wait for the reviews to confirm, but I believe it's highly unlikely that the ECC will be non-functional. These require RDIMM's, and it's hard to even buy RDIMM's without ECC. So if everybody who is testing it has ECC in their test machine, many of them will explicitly test ECC and it will be noticed. Also, ECC works fine on the EPYC chips these are variants of.
- p_l 3y agoAMD always included the logic for ECC, sometimes the issue was with motherboards lacking the traces or simply not initializing the controller for ECC.
