Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware
French term or phrase: matériel de calcul
In an article about ARM cores

car les ARM7 manquent de quasiment tout ce qui fait un coeur moderne: une architecture superscalaire permettant d'executer plus d'une instruction à la fois, une architecture Harvard offrant des bus séparés pour les instructions et les données et un acces plus rapide à la mémoire, des fonctions implementées au niveau **materiel de calcul** en virgule flottante, des banques de registres pour accélerer les reponses aux interruptions...

Thank you for your help

Explanation:
I think you need to break up the sentence differently:

"...implémentées au niveau matériel /

de calcul en virgule flottante..."

Meaning that the hardware is somehow improved to enable floating point operations to be carried out. That's how I understand it, anyway!

Explanation:
however I think the sentence is related to the lack of "Specific instructions sets" found in destkop CPU such as SSE3 or SSE4 in Intel processor / or hardcore-based decoding capabilities for multimedia applications
to make the difference with software-based functions.

Kari is right about expending the sentence.
floating point instructions set or operations/functions
