Software Issues
As is often the case, the development of new processor architecture is accompanied by the issue of software development. Software tends to lag behind hardware development, especially in the case of multi-core chips. Intel aims to solve this problem by creating a new programming language especially for the 80 core processor called Ct. Intel also created a software development kit to accommodate visual recognition and multi thread instructions. Both Intel and Microsoft are supporting a new age of programmers by jointly donating $20 million to the cause.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
