Google says Rowhammer attacks are gaining range as RAM is getting denser

Please, The ONLY time Intel offered ECC as standard on its products was during brief 486 period when all chipsets the offered were considered highend and their chipset market share was in single digits.

ECC was standard on first IBM PC 5150, on PS/2 line, on pretty much all 286 clones etc.

Intel market segmentation shenanigans started around 1995 with Pentium line, with ECC absent from all consumer oriented product lines.

True, the whole dip into RAMBUS kinda saw them shift things and when they came back to less niched out RAM, they split things business and consumer.

however, been some odd glimmer of hope for the cheaper end for ECC suport from Intel - https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/surprise-surprise-...

What really needs to happen is all these AMD Ryzen users to buy into ECC, help get the price down and more so, push Intel in another tickbox catchup in that market.

Intel cut ECC from its consumer chipsets almost 10 years before Rambus.
