You're both reading too literally into my point.
The simple situation is it's a 4-pair design, rather than 8 'standalone', resulting in 8 weak cores with high clockspeed and very good parallelism. And cannot be compared to 8 Intel cores in terms of performance equivalence.
That's all I was saying.
So what software these days actually utilises FPUs more heavily than integer calculations?
