And I wouldn't knock 3dNow!, it's just another in a long line of AMD innovations that Intel has been forced to respond to:

MM extensions
DDR vs. Rambus
Copper Interconnect

Pardon me? MM extensions like MMX, first available in
the P55 Pentium? Or the MM extensions shipped even
earlier in the HP PA7100LC Hummingbird CPU?

DDR was around long before AMD used it. IIRC the first
use of DDR in computer applications was in a IBM mid
range server.

Copper certainly isn't an AMD innovation either. IBM
was using it since around 0.25 um.

Given your apparent disregard for historical accuracy
I am suprised you didn't try to claim on-chip memory
controllers and processor to processor links as AMD
firsts too.
