While OnLive certainly has the upper hand in terms of media exposure for its upcoming streaming game service for the PC and Mac, another rival service, Otoy, is planning its own launch in the near future. While not as well known as OnLive, Otoy has some big name partners in its venture, including chip maker AMD.

Otoy, who actually first announced their plans in January 2009, ahead of OnLive's first reveal, now plans to launch its streaming game tech sometime in the summer using AMD's Fusion Render Cloud Servers as its basis (the servers themselves are scheduled to be ready in the second quarter of 2010) . VentureBeat reports that each of AMD's supercomputers has 128 servers that can handle 3,000 customers with high-def streaming downloads.

Unlike OnLive, however, Otoy doesn't have a specific launch date, pricing plan or a list of games it plans to offer on its service. At the moment it looks like OnLive and perhaps even its other rival Gaikai have the momentum going to launch their own services ahead of Otoy.
