I agree, all the way up to entire generations of SDRAM being unable to store data at their advertised speeds and refresh timings. (Rowhammer.) This is nothing short of fraud; they backed the refresh off WAY below what's necessary to correctly store and retrieve data accurately regardless of adjacent row access patterns. Because refreshing more often would hurt performance, and they all want to advertise high performance.
And as a result, we have an entire generation of machines that cannot ever be trusted. And an awful lot of people seem fine with that, or just haven't fully considered what it implies.
