AMD Live!
AMD LIVE! was originally the name of Advanced Micro Devices' initiative to gather the support of professional musicians and other media producers behind its hardware products. The primary focus of this initiative was the Opteron server- and workstation-class central processing unit.
AMD subsequently extended AMD LIVE! into a platform marketing initiative focusing the consumer electronics segment.
AMD LIVE! was first announced on January 4, 2006 officially through press release.
