"Intel announced today that they're open-sourcing their cross-platform Thread Building Blocks 2.0 (TBB) template library. While the company contributes code to open-source project like the Linux kernel and drivers, the opening of TBB marks the first time that Intel has taken a commercial tool and open-sourced it, making it Intel's largest open-source commitment to date."

Pervasive multithreading is a must if we are going to see significant performance improvements. And it's something very important for Intel to get it common because Intel is focusing on producing multicore chips obviously.
It's a wise move for Intel to help everyone to start writing multithreaded code.
