AMD Live! A free-to-air TV killer?
AMD's lifted the veil on its AMD Live! technology at Taiwan's Computex show. Going Live! doesn't necessarily require AMD chips. Basically it's a software platform, that will allow users to access, manage, distribute and stream all forms of media from one PC to another - or for that matter a PDA - anywhere.
The demo showed a TV show that had been recorded on a PC in Colorado being streamed to a laptop on stage. The software then streamed it to a PDA ... automatically reformatting it for the new devices. You're never going to have to miss an episode of House again, because you can manage your recording remotely, via Web browser. We're sure that Eddie, having just sacked all those Nine staff, will just love this!
And AMD hopes to generate sales with low-power versions of its CPUs running on as little as 35W without loss of performance. That will mean way quieter home media centres, because they won't need all those noisy fans.
