Ehh, technically they do, the APUs like the 2400G, 220G, and 240GE apparently have a "broken" implementation of ECC on "all" motherboards, but many of those motherboards do advertise working ECC with the 'Ryzen PRO' variants of AMD's APUs.

That is NOT AMD's problem, that is the fault of motherboard manufacturers, and always has been.

Thank you. Anyone who says otherwise is a fanboy-zealot. Maybe AMD is find for gamers, but if you're depending on ECC you want a Xeon.

Most of their ryzen cpu support correctly ECC. How did you draw this conclusion?
