On linux you can force enable ECC on an unsupported motherboard with > ecc_enable_override=1 Most motherboards have the extra memory traces in place even if they don't enable ECC.

That's good information but still doesn't tell us that these cpus support ECC, right? Maybe the motherboard fully supports ECC when used with a future 1800X-PRO but not with the 3 chips reviewed here. In that case anandtech saying

I think ECC is in a different category than MHz or core count because with a lower frequency or fewer cores you may get your result slower but it will be the same result as a top end chip. Without ECC you may get a completely wrong answer w

Chestnuts grow much more quickly than other hardwoods, like oaks. They reach maybe 10 feet(3m) in 3 years? They start producing nuts in 5-7 years.

If you upstream your drivers then the people who change interfaces also fix the modules that use those interfaces. The problem is SoC manufacturers that don't want to put in the work to upstream drivers.
