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.
