AMD's All-in-One Media Machine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kitchen-sink-not-included dept.

Drakewolf writes to tell us that despite the many failed attempts to bridge the gap between the PC and home entertainment systems, AMD has released several new products at CES under their LIVE! brand. The centerpiece was the AMD LIVE! Home Cinema, an all-in-one device that combines a set-top cable box, stereo receiver, DVD player, digital video recorder, and a PC.

    The $1000 version is probably Celeron based with minimal RAM.

    AMD doesn't sell a lot of Celerons... Mainly because Intel makes them.
