Ecc memory is not needed for 99% of day to day consumer tasks.

you must be living in a different reality then, where "working as intended" non ecc sticks BY DESIGN will thrown random silent errors every now and then, that may crash your system, may crash your application, or may corrupt your data.

and you also must be living a world, where memory doesn't fail, which without ecc means not corrected errors, that aren't logged and silently start to corrupt tons of user data.

so again are you living in that very different world, or are you just repeating bullshit nonsense, that defends the WRONG idea, that the average customer doesn't need a working computer?

maybe ask yourself why you are defending broken hardware.

maybe ask yourself if you would defend the removal of error correction from the infinity fabric, or the l3 cache, or you know what, let's remove the error correction setups inside of harddrives and ssds.

i mean ssd makers are idiots, as clearly the memory inside of ssds doesn't need to have error correction right?

i mean if you argue, that the system memory doesn't need error correction, why would you need it in the rest of the system right?

and if you think, that removing error correction from all the other examples would be insane, then why do you have a magically different opinion about system memory?

the ONLY reason, that you do is, because it is the current default.

you would very simply understand the need of ecc, if we had ecc system memory everywhere and intel would suggest to remove it. you would call that insane and absurd.

BUT we don't, because decades ago companies showed customers the middle finger and instead of demanding working memory finally, you kneel before their evil and ask for more broken scraps.

also you don't understand the ecc situation on am4 and am5. am4 had widespread ecc support. most boards had working ecc. am5 NOT. to this day it is a pain in the ass to find working am5 motherboards with ecc as amd refused to go in and require boards to have working ecc, at least when they started to sell epyc chips on am5.

And you're forgetting that desktop AMD CPUs have ECC support

and that is kind of hard to me to forget as i got an am4 ecc system myself. a gaming focused system with ecc memory, because another misconception is, that ecc is slow. it is not ecc memory in testing by puget systems is exactly as fast as non ecc memory and on am4 you could get 3600 mts cl16-19-19 sticks.

so again consumers NEED working hardware. we NEED ecc. it is disgusting, that companies are selling broken hardware, leading to massive amounts of data loss and crashes each year.

those are facts. please don't push lies from the shit industry. you need working memory, i need working memory, please building a nas need working memory, people who got one cheap laptop as their computer NEED ecc memory.

no ecc = broken memory.
