21. The floating point unit is a portion of the chip that is used for extremely precise computations. 22. You could make the same argument against Intel moving floating point units and graphics onto the microprocessors. 23. The floating-point unit ( FPU ) on all subsequent x86 processors have supported this format. 24. Each core has two address generation units, four integer units, and four floating point units . 25. The microprocessor was a superscalar design with multiple integer and floating-point units that executed instructions caches. 26. The chip set consisted of two chips, the MB86900 microprocessor and the MB86910 floating-point unit . 27. Since the Pentium FDIV bug, the complicated floating point units of modern microprocessors have been designed with extra scrutiny. 28. Swordfish had an integrated floating point unit , timers, DMA controllers and other peripherals not normally available in microprocessors. 29. The Mac II featured a Motorola 68020 processor operating at 16 MHz teamed with a Motorola 68881 floating point unit . 30. The fixed point unit executes integer instructions, generates addresses in load store operations and some portions of branch instructions.
