Keep in mind Cinebench is very FPU dependent as with all 3d apps. That being said we know BD only has 4 FPU's.

that's only in 256 bit mode is there 4.
in 128 bit There are still 8 of them.
it was also said that a single core can use both 128 bit FPU if needed.

I see, and since cinebench does not support AVX yet I't would be running the 128bit x 8 configuration.

Each floating point unit has 4 pipes. The first two (pipe 0 and pipe 1) contain the units that mainly perform FP arithmetic such as ADD, MUL and FMA, while the other two pipes (pipe 2 and pipe 3) perform the other AVX, SSE, and MMX instructions. When compared to 10h processors bulldozers FPU is more specialized and balanced.
