They never acknowledged Gary, but removed him anyway. The original said
"Scalar floating-point instructions operate on single 32-bit operands that
reside in the lower 32-bits of the GPRs. These instructions are considered a

called the EFPU Gary cares only that it have embedded in it somewhere."
(more recent e500 chips considered the scalar instructions to be in a separate APU)
