Copper they got from Motorola, and implemented in year 2000 at the 180nm. Intel was a year behind when they implemented it at 130nm in 2001. Partially depleted SOI they got from IBM, implemented at 130nm, and is of highly debatable value. Intel has not yet chosen to implement any kind of silicon on insulator technology. Strained silicon they got from IBM, and implemented into 90nm by the end of 2004. Intel pioneered this technology in their 90nm process that started shipping end of year 2003.

Following you line of argument consequently ends up noting Intel did neither invented the transistor nor the use of silicon to fab fab chips.

Bottom line, i did not mean to suggest AMD invented the wheel, but that it makes nice vehicles out of it.
