Currently, Opteron is produced 100% by AMD.  Sometime in the future, IBM may
take over some of the *fabrication* of the processor.  All other aspects
(design, etc.) should be completely AMD.  In contrast, the G5 is completely
designed and manufactured by IBM.

Can you provide any kind of reference to this stupid theory?  I guess I
shouldn't expect it, since you can't even provide references for your more
plausible theories, let alone far-out stuff like this.
