The chipmaker is also launching AMD Live Entertainment Suite, which is designed to offer applications and services to assist users in designing and operating their digital entertainment systems.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Live Entertainment Suite will offer four main features. One, called AMD Live On Demand, is designed to offer a service, via Orb Networks, to stream live or prerecorded television shows, photos, music and movies to devices connected to the Internet. The suite will also include an application tool that aims to compress recorded TV shows, allowing more shows to be stored on a PC. The suite will also offer 25GB of free storage via AMD's Live Media Vault and a service to set up and manage a home network.
