Re:Intel Skylake/Kaby Lake processors: broken hyper-threading by Shikadi on Sunday June 25, 2017 @07:52PM (#14632920)
Cosmic ray errors (called soft errors in the industry) are measured in FIT rate, (failures in time) which is measured in failures per billion device hours. Basically, it's very unlikely to hit a desktop computer, somewhat likely to happen higher in the atmosphere/space, and very likely to happen in a system with hundreds or thousands of processors.
