*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***


"Gay is ok" video from a chip firm.

They seem to have disabled the likes, after it dawned on them what a mistake this was. People fed up with left-wing politics forced into everything. Wonder if it will affect sales of Zen.

Intel IGLOBE Employees Share How "It Gets Better"
Listen to members of IGLOBE (Intel Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, or Transgender Employees) share stories of their personal experiences and offer advice in this - It Gets Better video campaign, which supports Intel's commitment to equality and diversity.

Intel IGLOBE - looks like AMD failed in assigning a proper name to their initiative.

I didn't realise the chap in post 4822 is so insecure that his E-PEEN is being attacked, due to purchase justification,he literally found some random AMD video to try and thread thrash and flamebait this thread.

Not sure what the LGBT policy of Intel and AMD has to do with the products they make. After all one of the fathers of modern computing was Turing who was gay. Another one was Christopher Strachey. You might as well go and use an abacus then.


Edit!!

Looks like Nvidia is ahead of the roost here:

Members of NVPride, NVIDIA's "LGBT and Friends" group, share experiences of being LGBT. It's our message to LGBT Youth, or anyone getting bullied. Sometimes life sucks, but stick with it, IT GETS BETTER!

Looks like AMD,Intel and Nvidia have all signed up to the "It gets Better" project:

Not sure what this has to do with Ryzen - I watched it and saw no new Ryzen news.

Would you stop overusing the term "epeen" in every post?

1) It could indicate that a launch is imminent (ride a wave of cheap virtue-signalling)
2) It could affect sales (either way)

It's not left wing politics, it's just about not being a ****.
 
Was there anything in those vids about Ryzen? If not let them get on with it, but no need to post it here, surely?

Effectively, Orangey, you've now forced it into this thread :p Which is what you were complaining about, no? :p

Is this actually produced by AMD? If it is.... AMD living up to truly being quite bizarre in their marketing material.

I'm not buying this CPU because its made by gays.

Seriously though

I cant imagine anyone being bothered tbh, but why would AMD feel the need to make this video?

with subject

And because the majority of the US corporations, like AMD, do care for their employees, and they see them as investment.
On big corporations like this with thousand employees, they support their staff on initiatives helping others.
Also is a great ad from AMD to show that they do care and accept anyone to have a career with AMD.

They are not a British company which sees them like the paid slaves building the pyramids.

Intel and Nvidia have been making videos about it for years,so all the people moaning are doing it on purpose to thread thrash this thread. You never saw them sobbing about a video like that when Intel and Nvidia released it.
 
Wow, I won't be buying Zen then. I call my PC a "rig" for a good reason - because it's manly! and heterosexual! How can I use that word with something that was made by gays and SJWs?! I can't. So I'll be sticking with Intel and keeping my manly heterosexuality intact!

Edit: Oh dear...I just saw those videos above....looks like I'll be switching to console! It's not very manly, but at least it's not gay!

AMD in the consoles - looks like the Abacus for you! :p
 
Am I missing something? What's coming out got to do with micro processors?

EDIT - never mind, thought it was just AMD who made the video.
