## About

AMD's official website for GPU and CPU drivers, firmware updates, and technical support

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026 when community testing showed amd.com returning an Akamai "Access Denied" page from Syrian connections. A community volunteer contacted the company in March 2026 citing the lifting of sanctions. No response has been received so far.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-19 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed AMD's member services team at memberservices@amd-member.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting all Syria sanctions, the OFAC sanctions programs overview, and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources. This is the first outreach to AMD regarding the blocking of amd.com in Syria.
- 2026-02-15 — Verified. Community member from Syria confirmed AMD's website remains blocked. Accessing amd.com/en.html returns an "Access Denied" error served by Akamai CDN (errors.edgesuite.net). This is consistent with the previous report from February 10. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/tmrxbjiba5zc8wn0com1ps9k/hvodbjgfzl57srxai3iowtr0-78593.png)
- 2026-02-10 — Evidence Added. Screenshot submitted by a user from Syria showing that amd.com is blocked (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/owxqd309eot9nth4zz6kqlm0/kwbh4kzgxyqih6lk2mxfke9r-screenshot-2026-02-10-032521.png)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
