    ^^ in the above quote there is a chance it's 2x 4-way int clusters instead of DDboy's speculation about 2x2-way since AMD lists 4 "pipes" in the BD module diagram. But i have no idea if these are simple or complex instructions mentioned there. In patents there is a mention of possible total of 8(eight!) instructions being executed in parallel (due to ability to execute additional 4 fastpath ones in the same clock cycle)
