> My understanding is the stats from hyperscalers is that ECC correction events happen a lot more than "Common Knowledge" may imply - I wonder just what proportion of things that are blamed on software may actually be due to hardware issues like this?

What is the order of magnitude of ECC correction events?

Looks like a good paper, but transistors have gotten quite a bit smaller since 2009, and voltages have gotten lower as well. So the energy required to flip a bit has shrunk quite a bit since 2009.
