Apple’s new operating system, OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”, will beat the company’s own launch target of September – an official launch date of August 28 was just announced. The new OS is priced at $29 per license for OS X Leopard users (with additional discounts for bulk license users). Apple notes, “Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange.”
Apple is pushing a couple of new technologies with Snow Leopard. The first is its Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) a technology designed to optimize multi-core usage. Another new tech is OpenCL, a C-based open standard, which looks to provide heterogenous processing on both GPUs and CPUs.
