Intel Says Optimize For Multicore
Intel is set to release development tools to programmers to help them take full advantage of multicore systems.
The chip giant has forecast that by the end of this year, about 70 percent of its chips will be multicore. That is, each processor will host more than one processing unit, a design that increases performance without increasing power consumption.
