AMD processors support encrypted RAM, called SME[1]. The key is internal to the CPU and randomized at boot. Sniffing a live RAM chip or reading a perfectly preserved frozen RAM will give you nothing. It's a big part of why the xbox one was never hacked.

You can enable SME in the BIOS on all AMD-based business laptops and AMD EPYC servers.
