I don't know what Jaguar you guys are talking about but the Jaguar
I know - Fam16h - has an int hardware divider:

So all that talk about microcode is plain wrong. The hardware divider
comes from Llano (F12h) so it must be some other Jaguar, maybe Bobcat.

:-)

If it is Bobcat, then it has a 1-bit per cycle ucode int divider.
