In the context of 5 days conference WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), which is held in San-Francisco June 9-13, 2008, Apple announced an early build of Mac OS X 10.6, code-named "Snow Leopard", at WWDC, targeting January 2009 as the release date for the final.

According to Apple, Snow Leopard is optimized for multi-core processors using a new technology called “GrandCentral”, which appears to become a simplified development platform for multi-threaded OS X applications.

The new OS will also raise the memory limit to 16 TB and support Open Computing Language (OpenCL), a C-based programming language that lets “any application tap into the vast gigaflops of GPU computing power previously available only to graphics applications”. Snow Leopard includes out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange 2007.
