rmation on AMD Ryzen ECC memory support in charts
Looking for a straightforward reference chart on AMD Ryzen CPU ECC memory compatibility. Consumers often rely on tools like the Ryzen DRAM calculator, but do you know if it includes ECC details? Since you're on Linux, you haven't used that specific utility yet.
Workstation setup underway! X570 chipset, ample RAM, powerful GPU, and fast NVMe SSD. This came up after a comment in Linus's Ryzen 9 3950x review at 8:50: it made me wonder about ECC memory on chips without support. Most seem to point to the chipset or motherboard, but what role does the chip play? Is there a compatibility guide? If none exists, maybe it’s not too problematic. Could be they skip extra parity bits. I’m curious because someone might ask why not just purchase the 3950x directly if that’s the goal. With Zen3 4000 Desktop chips expected in 4–6 months—likely to surpass Zen2—I prefer a mid-range APU around $200 or less, but need assurance it works with ECC memory. The main concern is compatibility.
Linus chose the 3950x likely because it met specific requirements or constraints not shared by the others, even though all could handle ECC memory.
Is there any insight into the reason behind this before it gets lost in the discussion?
