Apple announces OS X 10 Mavericks to the public

388630-os-x-10-9-mavericksApple has announced the public release of OS X 10 Mavericks.  The company’s main goals with the new software was to improve battery life, making changes to power efficiency, GPU performance, and even better CPU performance.

For example with the new MacBook Air, if you are watching a video, you can an extra hour with the new software.  There’s a new feature called “Compressed Memory” where the software makes extra space in your active memory so that you can run more applications so you never slow down.

In the graphics department, main focus was integrated graphics.  The GPU and CPU work together using the same memory to work together.  With Mavericks, the two work together to provide boost to each side.  If you need more performance with GPU, then the CPU will provide extra power to the GPU in order to perform better, and vice-versa.
