DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) represents a type of semiconductor storage that holds essential data and program instructions needed for a computer’s processor to operate properly. This memory technology is commonly found in personal computers, professional workstations, and server systems.
Ryzen is AMD’s prominent line of x86-64 processors that can handle multiple operations simultaneously. Advanced Micro Devices develops and markets these chips based on their Zen architecture, targeting various computing environments including desktop computers, laptops, servers, and embedded systems.
