Doesn't Intel also have a significant presence in Israel?

Yep, pretty sure AMD does as well.

AMD has a significant presence in Israel through research and development, investments, and partnerships.  In 2011, AMD established an R&D center in Tel Aviv (Ramat Gan) after acquiring Graphic Remedy, an Israeli 3D graphics and heterogeneous computing startup.  This center has focused on advancing parallel computing platforms and software development. 

In recent years, AMD has expanded its ties to Israel’s tech ecosystem by:

Investing in Classiq, an Israeli quantum computing firm. 

Partnering with NeuReality, an AI infrastructure startup based in Israel. 

Supporting Teramount, a photonics startup in Jerusalem.

These activities reflect AMD’s strategic focus on innovation in AI, quantum computing, and advanced chip technologies, without public evidence of direct military or defense sector involvement with Israeli agencies like the IDF. 

Despite these ties, AMD does not have publicly documented contracts with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, underground data centers, or roles in surveillance or battlefield technologies—distinguishing it from other tech companies like Nvidia or Palantir. However, some investors and advocacy groups consider any financial support to Israeli startups as indirect support, depending on personal or religious criteria (e.g., halal investing).
