Digitmes speculates on Intel Nahalem Macs based on Snow Leopard features

This is very exciting news for mulit-cpu aware computing.



Digitmes speculates on Intel Nahalem Macs based on Snow Leopard features: "

Digitimes today speculates on Apple's future Intel Chip roadmap.' Basically they are saying that Snow Leopard's Grand Central feature sounds a lot like what Intel's Nahalem processor will be able to offer with more cores and more threads/core/cycle.


The main optimization Apple describes as a target for Snow Leopard is Grand Central, a technology it says will make all of OS X multi-core aware and optimize it for allocating tasks across multiple cores and processors. Apple also says Grand Central will make it easier for OS X software developers to create programs that make the most of multi-core platforms.
