A lot, but for starters I found this interesting...

The floating point unit is one of the resources shared by the two cores of a Bulldozer module. It consists of two 128-bit FMAC (fused multiply accumulate) type processing pipelines, which means that the units can carry out a dot product operation (often found in geometry engines and graphics processing)
