In the Ultrasparc T2 (Niagra 2), each core had its own floating point hardware.
The wiki says that the T2 was over 10x faster than the T1 for floating point arithmetic.
"One floating point unit per core, up from just one FPU for the entire chip... Better floating-point throughput (>10x improvement)...
Better floating-point single-thread performance (>5x improvement)"

The T1 and T2 were both open-sourced. I would love to have a dual-core T2 implementation on a Raspberry PI, with completely open hardware.
