    All DDR5 sticks should have side-band ECC in addition to on-die.

    Posted: 22 May 2021 07:11 PM PDT

    With the growth of AMD who "unofficially" supports ECC, it's time to end the partition in the market. All ECC modules will operate in a non-ecc manner if the functionality is not supported by the motherboard and CPU, however you can't magic the extra parity chip into existence for the boards and CPUs that do. And if all DIMMs are ECC, it will encourage the motherboard manufacturers to just include the extra traces and enable the functionality by default.

    One of the biggest benefitors of ECC is actually the overclocking crowd, as the error correction code identifies when a bad overclock is starting to kick in and it's correcting for it. It lets you see the ceiling of operation for your stick before blue-screens and crashes start to kick in which is similar to acknowledging the warning light on your car dashboard before the engine locks up.

    On-die as mandatory for DDR5 will help some data integrity, but it does nothing for in-transit data integrity. Making ECC standard across the board will also allow us to get "gamer" sets, with nice RGB and XMP profiles, without sacrificing data integrity---which we should all prioiritise.

    When can we expect M1 level performance/watt from an AMD or Intel CPU

    Posted: 22 May 2021 05:58 AM PDT

    Been testing out an M1 Macbook Pro and comparing to my i7 Surface Book 3 15 inch and an i9 8 core 10885h Hp Envy 15 (Lifelong windows user). In summary the intel processors seem like a relic from another decade when compared to the M1 which is generally faster and uses drastically less power.

    However I need windows for my work so need to stick to x86 and the Mac is just too annoying to use from a software perspective. I also prefer the windows interface as Mac OS has quite bad window management and multi tasking capabilities. However suddenly all x86 processors seems seriously antiquated compared to the M1 from a perf/w perspective. Sure you can get higher performance from x86 now but with drastically higher power usage - this does not translate to a good experience in mobile laptop applications due to poor battery life, lots of heat, loud fans, big power bricks etc.

    Any thoughts on when we can see something competitive from x86? (if ever). Seems this is a real step change in the industry.
