Intel has had a dominant position in the CPU market over the past decade with AMD struggling to rectify the Bulldozer blunder it made in the mid-late 2000s. The same can be said of the Indian market. Although the situation is now improving, it’ll still be a few years before AMD stands on par with Intel when it comes to the CPU market share. Regardless, there are hard times ahead for team blue, with the global sales of the 8th and 9th Gen Coffee lake chips dipping in the wake of the Ryzen 3000 storm.

One of the fundamental components of any computer, be it a bulky desktop or a 6-inch smartphone is the memory, also known as RAM (short for Random Access Memory). RAM is a volatile form of storage and every task that your computer performs is stored on it but as soon as the power is turned off, that data gets erased.
