It is funny to see how AI-label madness continues. Didn't you see AI-screwdriver, or AI-toothbrush?

What is funny is that the EPYC launch article has people reacting and this one about a product most of us are far more likely to come in contact with is being mostly ignored.

And as usual, Dell is missing, with no Latitude or Optiplex with Ryzen.

I honestly thought that intel didn’t had any bribe money left.

I wonder if these come with ECC memory support. The PRO series usually does, but who knows. Actually, I'm still a bit uncertain if "non-EPYC" ZEN5 supports ECC. I guess, we'll find out in time.

For a very long time, AMD has included ECC support on their consumer boards, but never list it as supported.

Sadly, only way to know is by trying or waiting for someone to do so.
Maybe Wendell has tested this already or will, depending on the board.

On some boards, SUPPORT ECC maybe means you can insert the ECC memory module and run, but cannot enable ECC function for error detection or correction.

I was specifically referring to the APU versions. Those are the only Ryzen CPUs that (at least until now) only support ECC in the PRO versions. That said, I'm also still not sure if the "normal" Ryzen 9000 desktop versions support it. Reason for this is that AMD have launched their socket AM5 EPYC line, so they might want to go the Intel route of fusing off functionality. I hope they don't, though.

EDIT: Seems the Ryzen 9000 series does support ECC (at the bottom of the Connectivity section).

During last a couple of years I've left more than 10 feedbacks on a Dell's Contact Us webpage with requests for a broader support of AMD CPUs.
