> It's a problem of physics - there's various ways to try to mitigate it but the only way to completely avoid it would probably be to use SRAM and that is going to be extremely expensive when talking 16GB and not nearly dense enough. And yet, when the bit flip problem caused by physics got so bad in DDR5 it couldn't be ignored they did fix it - by adding error correction codes. It wasn't that expensive to do so. Notice that HDD's hit the same problem as the got denser, and solved it in the same way (ie, by throwing lots of ECC at it). I agree with the original poster. It's a hardware problem, caused by the manufacturers pushing the limits. And it's their problem to fix, which they can do. DRAM that doesn't corrupt itself isn't a big ask.
