re: However, since individual Core-2 workstations outperform AMD offerings by 30-50% (peak or not peak, whatever), all employees got core-2s desktops.

And what is the basis for your premise, given the following statement by AMD:

The quad-core chip also will outperform AMD's current dual-core Opterons on "floating point" mathematical calculations by a factor of 3.6 at the same clock rate, he said.

Does C2D or even Clovertown do that?

Maybe C2D is "fast enough?"
