Advanced Micro Devices has released the first hardware specifications to get its AMD Live! consumer-electronics plan up and running, although the vision will have to wait until at least 2007 to be realized. AMD executives said this week that the technology would roll out in at least two phases, the first one of which may be delivered in 2007.
