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:
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
