随着 AMD 公司新一代微处理器Athlon(K7)的推出,Intel 芯片传统的浮点优势受到了挑战。由于对浮点运算有强大的需求,因此 AMD 为这款 AMD Athlon 处理器设计了一个性能强劲及结构先进的浮点运算单元,以满足这方面的需求。AMD 这款性能卓越的超标量浮点运算器是第七代AMDAthlon 结构的一个主要特色,更确保 x86型电脑系统可以发挥出出色的浮点运算性能。浮点运算是一种以“浮动”小数点而非“固定”小数点来表示一个实数的计算方法。采用这种方法可以进行更精确的数学运算。相比之下,采用没有小数点的整数来进行运算便无法达到这个
With the introduction of Athlon (K7), a new generation of AMD microprocessors, the traditional floating point advantages of Intel chips are challenged. Due to the strong demand for floating-point arithmetic, AMD designed a powerful and advanced floating-point unit for the AMD Athlon processor to meet this need. AMD’s ultra-scalar floating-point unit of high performance is a key feature of the Seventh Generation AMDAthlon architecture, ensuring that x86-based computer systems perform well in floating-point computing. Floating-point arithmetic is a way to represent a real number with a “floating” decimal instead of a “fixed” decimal. This method allows for more accurate mathematical operations. In contrast, using an integer without a decimal point to do arithmetic can not achieve this
