BD integer scheduler receives the 4 macro ops but the very execution units work on micro ops sent by that same scheduler. Execution units can only work with micro ops. Back end's job is to retire the macro ops that schedulers received. Per clock and per AMD (per AMD"s Mike Bulter) each core can retire 4 macro ops.
