AMD's Live® to counter Intel's Viiv®

Sidney · 15th February 2006, 04:25

The Live machines are about to go in living room and AMD plans to ship specially energy efficient CPUs for it. Those CPUs and coresponding boards have to support Cool N Quiet and all drivers have to be WHQL certified. The machine requires IEEE 1394 Firewire while the TV tuner and remote are optional accessories - unlike with Intel's Viiv PCs.

In phase one the Live machines have to support Windows Media Centre edition and to be Windows Vista capable while in the second phase, manufacturers are supposed to meet Windows Vista Premium logo requirements.

The CPUs will drain 35 to 65W and scheduled for a Computex 2006 launch. That is in early June 2006, simultaneously with the socket AM2 launch.
