 FPU Definition
We define FPU |
FPU - The part of a microprocessor that is designed to handle floating point calculations. Often the efficiency of this part of the processor will decide whether a processor is successful or not. Cyrix M-II chips and AMD K6-2 chips had weak floating point units when compared to Intel Pentium III processors, thus limiting their success. AMD's Athlon chip had a strong floating point unit, and it was very successful against the Pentium III. Floating point performance matters a lot in games and complex data manipulations, thus the "pro" or "Geek" segment of the market that drives system buys and recommends components. |
