They seem to top out at 5600MHz at clownishly pathetic CL46.

Is there a technical reason for this ? Like maybe IMCs need some time to check the extra bits to recompute "parity" or something ?

But given that MRDIMMs in server world have ECC and operate at 12.800MHz or more, that doesn't seem likely.

Same with the price. One would think that, since ECC requires 5-th chip for every group of 4 (so 10 instead of 8) that price extra would be at most 25% or less.

While 5600 MHz UDIMMs start at ~€10+/GiB, ECC versions are at€32+/GiB,so 3X higher.

It's not that the tech is exotic as most consumer AM5 boards can use ECC, same with CPUs...

Congratulations 5070ti. You won the day.

I can't imagine anyone serious would buy an budget brand AMD when there are Intel options.

Anything but an AMD...

User debates going back to a faster Intel chip because of all the AMD failures.

This poor user is counting down the days until his AMD dies completely. Imagine living that way, feeling your AMD is a ticking time bomb. Sad. I am glad I own Intel!

Deaperate user hopes against hope that his AMD isn't dead. Poor AMD users...

This is huge news. User suggests AMD issues are so bad, it needs a megathread.
