    You are wrong.
    Look here:

    If we have single threaded fp legacy code,one integer core can schedule instructions on both FMACs.
    Core 1
    2x128b AVX or 2x128b un-recompiled SSE
    This means one core can have the whole shared FP resources on its disposal if Core 2 has no fp instructions scheduled in FP scheduler.
