It's only a matter of time before Sun Microsystems starts helping AMD enhance the Opteron chip, at least according to Sun. David Yen, executive vice president of the scalable systems group at Sun, said that the collaboration between the two will lead to cooperative efforts on AMD's flagship processor.

And how are do you suppose they get this extra cash? they must generate enough cash not only to cover the cost if they, for example, issued bonds to fund the venture, they must also create enough cash to cover the risks associated with the transaction.
With that, how many of the companies will continue to purchase Opteron chips afterwards? how many of the fabs that current produce Opteron chips will be willing to continue to produce them (directing that at IBM) etc. etc.
The issue is alot more complex than just purchasing a company outright, and everything working fabulously from there.
