whom does opteron own? certainly not the customers; they are all owned by intel!

It is extremely funny how AMD has to sell these processors at throw away prices
to attract customers; funny only for intel though as they are confident tht
customers will pay top dollar for intel products which are actually cheaper to
manufacture than AMD processors; but its not fumnny for AMD and not for
customers either as these are only virtual prices as AMD is unble to ramp up
clock speeds; (the best AMD can do is 2.167mhz; the AMD 2800+(non-barton which
is actuallu the fastest AMD processor for chess can't be had for love or for
money!

meanwhile intel is going from strength to strength!
