So that's still way behind AMD. I got both ECC and OC.
I later found this AnandTech article with the title "The Intel W680
Chipset Overview: Alder Lake Workstations Get ECC Memory and
Overclocking Support":

It is surprising that Tom's Hardware and AnandTech state the opposite
regarding the Intel W680 chipset and overclocking support. I assume
AnandTech is correct, as they mention announced motherboards.
AnandTech also indicates that those boards do not have the over-sized
power regulation circuitry that is required for serious overclocking.
Perhaps another vendor has built such a motherboard since then.
Here are some additional articles on the subject of memory integrity
detection and correction:

While researching ECC memory a few years ago, I recall seeing an article
that discussed memory errors vs. memory size. 16 GB was the unity
threshold -- computers with less than 16 GB of memory had an error
likelihood of less than 1 bit per day (?) and computers with more than
16 GB had a likelihood greater than 1. I cannot remember the system
loading model (e.g. light to moderate desktop 8 hours vs. heavy
workstation 8 hours vs. heavy server 24 hours).
