The AMD's FX-8130P , 8 core bulldozer processor promises quantum jump in performance with its new architecture. The buldozzer architecture consist of the modules that comprises of two cores with integer scheduler and dedicated L1 Cache..
The block diagram below explains the architecture and the concept of the module and the core. Let us take a look at it
Carefully look at the block diagram above. This is the block diagram of one module of the FX-8130P. Inside the one module there are two Integer processing Units and one Floating Point Unit ( Shown in the Center). So why one FP Unit and two Inter Units ? Well after a lot of research AMD found that "most of the time" the processor spends its time in the Integer processing rather than the Floating Point. So AMD decided to dedicate two Integer Units and a Floating point unit.
There are 4 such modules and the Marketing department of AMD says that it has 8 cores.

Some more details of AMD FX-8130P
The AMD's Zambezi bulldozer processor FX-8130P is ready to take on the Intel's Sandy Bridge processors. It will restablish the lost ground for the AMD. The processor has been design from ground up. It uses a new AM3+ socket ( though some of the existing AM3 socket should also work with BIOS upgrage). The Bulldozer processors retails some of the features of the earlier Athlon ii and Phenom ii architecture ( like the Integrated Memory Controller and HyperTranport), but it enhances the clock rates. For example the DDR3 can now support upto 1666 while earlier architectures were mostly limited to DDR3-1333. The bulldozer architecture is based upon modules - with each module having two integer cores. Each of these two core have their own L1 Data Cache
