AMD may design some of the most powerful chips on the market, but it is just as obsessed with social engineering as it is with semiconductors. The company’s official reports are full of ESG buzzwords, “materiality assessments,” and “belonging strategies.” Instead of just focusing on clock speeds and performance benchmarks, AMD is busy raising Pride flags at its offices and cutting checks to LGBTQ+ charities during June.
Their Pride Employee Resource Group (creatively titled AMD Pride) helps coordinate donation matching and rainbow-colored celebrations worldwide. AMD has even won awards from the Human Rights Campaign for being a “Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality.” In other words, your graphics card does not just render frames, it doubles as a ticket to the social justice parade. While their chips may power your PC, their corporate culture is powered by DEI.
