As it was designed for games, not for spec_fp, I suspect the bonus is well over 5%.

I don't think that is correct at all. AFAIK games don't
need or use more than single precision FP ops and SSE
already provides that. OTOH almost all of SPECfp2k is
double precision and SSE2 provides DP SIMD and scalar
ops using the XMM regs.
