DDR5 supports on-die ECC eg. https://v6m6x4a4.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/SK_...

Not sure if it is a compulsory part of the spec, and irrelevant for most laptops since laptops generally wouldn’t use DDR5, but use low-power DDR instead.




On-die ECC should help with data integrity, but on-die ECC doesn't protect integrity all the way to the memory controller, and lack of reporting means I don't think you'll even know when there's an uncorrectable error. Which means you've still got the same basic issue --- memory is not stable, although the error rate is likely reduced.
