Why not mandate ecc ram?
- wmf 2y agoLobbying from Intel probably.
- GuB-42 2y agoIntel supports ECC, so does AMD, so why would they lobby against it? Intel uses it for market segmentation, but I don't think it is a big deal. It is just that those who build consumer-grade hardware don't want to spend 12% more on RAM for slightly less performance. Among them are essentially all ARM devices, including smartphones and Apple silicon Macs.
- wmf 2y agoDon't look at the specs for LPDDR6...
- summerlight 2y agoDoes ECC do anything with memory safety? This is about physical errors while the article is talking about software bugs. Those two are almost orthogonal.
