What Does FPU Stand For?

FPU stands for Floating Point Unit

The Floating Point Unit (FPU) is a specialized component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) designed to carry out operations on floating-point numbers, which represent real numbers with decimal points. The FPU enhances computational performance by efficiently handling arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of these complex numerical formats, enabling high precision in scientific, engineering, and graphics applications.
