What is your real question here? Are they asking for upgrade advice? I would suggest at least an N-class. They can run the latest software and are fairly new still. With the V-class being decommisioned, the N-class, L-class are taking more of the focus now. And the newer Superdome and Keystone models as well.
I believe that server class CPUs are MUCH faster than PC class CPUs. On the order of 2-3X faster than a the same MHZ of a PC class.
However, This box is so old that it is probably only comparable to a Intel P2. But, don't think that just because it is old that it is useless. It may be just the environment to run their application.
I am also guessing that they are running an old version of the OS. Probably 10.10 or earlier. I don't think that 11.x will even run on that system.
Old is not necessarily bad. Although, it may be hard to find parts for it.
