Cmos chips will hold data for some time, not reliably, but you cannot assume all (or any) of the data will corrupt instantly.

The only CMOS chips I've ever seen that can retain their memory is those that have a build in backup battery. Any other will lose any data within milliseconds of loss of power. So it's pretty safe to assume that the data will be corrupt/lost instantly on loss of power/battery backup.  A low battery might result in partially corrupt data, but once it falls below a threshold kiss the data goodbye. If you can provide a link showing otherwise (for CMOS like those used in these slots) please do so.
