He said "Core 2's biggest weakness is still multithreaded performance, in terms of per core scaling it does worse than K10." Had he said Per Socket, I have not asked that Question. Thanks!

Single Socket Core 2 Duo or Quad hasn't really shown any "weakness" per core. Or Did I miss something, again

Yes you missed something. Core 2 Quad shows weakness in scaling with specially memory intensive workloads and scaling with threads that have to wait on serialized code execution from a master thread. Sure a single Core 2 Duo dont show such limits. Since its the perfection of a dualcore. Far superiour to X2/Phemom. But Core 2 Quad suffers a whole other faith with its heavy weakness of the FSB chain ball on its feets.
