So speeding up FP might look awesome on SPEC FP benchmarks, but for desktop apps and most server apps, it gives you little or no noticeable impact.
I disagree, FP is used extensively for gaming, and I'm not talking about 3D rendering (GPU has taken care of that for the last decade), rather I'm referring to physics. Physics accounts for a huge amount of FPU utilization in modern games. Physx would be the out here, however it's rarely used, and Radion has no support for it.

So if all you do is basic computing, i.e. internet, email, word processing. Then by all means just dismiss FPU performance.
