#2It is good that AMD now look like they will finally be pushing Intel out of complacency. ECC should be the norm, not the exception and hopefully this will help drive the price of ECC memory down so that happens.

#3Not much of a surprise coming from AMD, but it will most likely end up like their previous generations of CPU: most motherboards won't support ECC memory, forcing you to buy specialized hardware anyway. And if you're buying specialized hardware, you might as well go all the way.

Finally ? AMD used to always support ECC, I believe their latest consumer chips didn't but that was mostly because it was never used because most motherboards makers don't want to add its support to their non-server variants.
Because why would they ? The very people for who that matters are those who have the needs and funds to buy the more expensive variant. Same reasoning as to why Intel isn't adding it to their desktop cpu.

#5So this would effectively compete against the newer Skylake/Kaby Lake Xeons, especially with them being only 4 core vs 8 for Zen.

#6That's awesome, I think this is the perfect CPU for my next ZFS NAS. If you try to find ECC support in Intel's lineup, it's hard to find much. Either the low end Pentium, or the high end Xeon ($$$).

#7No excuse now, Intel . Get to it.

#8I think one issue is the amount, I was under the impression am4 was only going to support 64gb.

#9will there be any "cheapish"(consumer) dual socket motherboards?

And I believe they've removed it from the latest-gen Pentiums
