My current laptop comes in an i9-10885H and a Xeon W-10885M version (among
other options).  They're identical but for the ECC support - they're the
same die, but the i9 has ECC disabled.  This is just Intel's market
segmentation.  There's no reason why they couldn't enable ECC across many of
their parts if they wanted to - which is what AMD has done.
