Apple will introduce the MacOS X Snow Leopard (10.6) operating system in the first quarter of 2009. It was reported earlier that the new OS should not be expected before the second half of the year. The main innovations that will appear in Snow Leopard are related to optimizing work with multi-core processors This OS will be the first of the Mac OS X line, which has a 64-bit kernel (the existing versions support 32 bits today). This allowed us to increase the amount of RAM supported up to 16 TB. But most importantly, what Apple wants to pay attention to is the improvement in system performance.
