* Extensions for software parallelism (xSP), aimed at speeding up programs to enable multi-threaded and multi-core processing, announced in Technology Analyst Day 2007. One of the initiatives being discussed since August 2007 is the Light Weight [[Profiling (computer programming)|Profiling]] (LWP), providing internal hardware monitor with runtimes, to observe information about executing process and help the re-design of software to be optimized with multi-core and even multi-threaded programs. Another one is the extension of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instruction set, the [[SSE5]].
* Codenamed ''SIMFIRE'' – interoperability testing tool for the Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) [[open architecture]].
