RAM

Microsoft now recommends 32GB of RAM as the future-proof standard for gaming, upgrading 16GB to merely a 'practical starting point.' This shift indicates increasing memory demands that could drive RAM sales and affect system pricing for gaming hardware manufacturers.

Microsoft's Surface Pro and Surface Laptop devices are experiencing significant RAM-related issues dubbed 'RAMageddon'. This hardware problem could impact Microsoft's premium device sales and force supply chain adjustments for memory components.
