Sadly, Sarah's benchmarks don't tell us how the A7000+ fared with Quake.
Would be pretty bad, noticeably worse than the StrongARM even with hardware FP. 48 MHz of ARM7 simply isn't enough on the integer side, and as noted the FPA isn't particularly quick anyway.

I'm not entirely sure an FPA version of Quake exists though! !ArcQuake (and R-Comp Quake, both are the same codebase) was heavily modified to use a softfloat library, and I think fixed point in some places. The 32-bit Quake port uses VFP.

For context, Quake on a 486/66 runs at about 8 fps, and the 7000+ is going to be slower than that.
