AMD has announced the release of a beta version for its Fusion Media Explorer, a new 3D browser which is designed to let users easily share multimedia files stored on their PCs with their social networks.

Fusion Media Explorer allows users to browse music and video albums stored on a PC, and share those files with social networks, said Casey Gotcher, director of product marketing at AMD, in a blog entry on Wednesday.

AMD has integrated social-networking sites like Facebook and YouTube into the software to easily upload and share multimedia files, Gotcher wrote. Users can simply select video or music files while browsing albums in a rotating 3D interface and drag and drop to upload those directly to Facebook or YouTube.

The browser is intended to showcase multimedia capabilities for PCs based on AMD’s laptop and desktop platform, which includes processors and graphics cards, Gotcher wrote. Since it bought graphics card vendor ATI in 2007, AMD has been touting its efforts to build better graphics capabilities into its desktop and laptop chips, while criticizing Intel for providing poor integrated graphics capabilities with its processors.

The software works with Microsoft’s Windows Vista and upcoming Windows 7 operating systems. It is not compatible with Windows XP or Linux, according to AMD.
