[Mp4-tech] About floating point

[ahmad jalal]

Hello Expert , 
I do not understand this paragraph about floating point and integer. 
" The reason for using floating point instructions instead of integer instruction is the nonpipelined, 11-cycle integer multiply operation. The floating point multiply takes only three cycles to execute and executes in a pipelined unit. "
Waiting for reply
Thanks 
Ahmad
