They also support ECC UDIMMs with ECC enabled, which has been the "PRO" series APU killer feature on AM4 for me. The non-"PRO" APUs will run fine with ECC UDIMM

They also support ECC UDIMMs with ECC enabled, which has been the "PRO" series APU killer feature on AM4 for me. The non-"PRO" APUs will run fine with ECC UDIMMs, but cannot make use of the extra parity information (maybe for reasons of market segmentation - I don't know if anyone outside of AMD knows). This is probably less of a concern with DDR5 platforms and their "on-DIE ECC" (which you cannot monitor for Correctable Errors at least, afaik), but it's still gonna matter for me.
- nwah1 2y agoYes. And it actually does have an iGPU, depending on which model.
- c0l0 2y agoIn case you don't need an integrated GPU (that's somewhat powerful/potent), you can go with any other Ryzen AM5 CPU to receive proper ECC-enabled ECC UDIMM support, afaik :)
- pedrocr 2y agoSince in AM5 all CPUs have a basic iGPU, for a home server all the normal CPUs already work fine. The advantage of the APUs is they're on a monolithic die so should have quite a bit lower idle power usage which is important if you have a NAS or other homelab server running 24/7.
