Not really. Some errors are expected, are you going to mandate 2 GPUs because the Memory could fail and it could show artifacts on the screen? Electronics failure is always a possibility with a small but nonzero probability. If your RAM is faulty, you can already return it. That does not mean that every device has to have ECC to prevent very improbable bitflips.
- rvnx 3y agoProcessors too can have implementation bugs (and had!), and bit flips, so even a perfect memory won't solve this edge scenario.
- snvzz 3y agoAn excellent example of Whataboutism. Measures are in the works there, such as the switch to a simpler and cleaner ISA. The value of simplicity is often overlooked; RISC-V will lead to higher quality software and hardware. But I digress, as this has no weight in whether or not lack of ECC is acceptable.
