I think it means 32 bit floating point, not 32 bit CPU, as it mentions "other relatively simplistic applications that do not require full precision" but its a bit unclear.

The quote that stands out to me is that the core is "ideal for applications which require high performance -- but have power constraints (e.g., Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality , IoT Edge Compute, Biometric Signal Processing, and Industrial Automation)."
