Check if those are all coming from DIMMs, as opposed to other subsystems (on-die caches).

Google and Facebook report a few unreliable CPU cores out of thousands of systems. Meaning maybe a 1/10,000 rate of repeatable CPU errors.

Google reports 8% of DIMMs being affected by errors. While the differences in metrics prevent comparing the two things directly it seems that DRAM errors are more common than CPU errors.
