When Intel did the dual-die thing with Kentsfield, AMD mocked them for not being "true quad-core" and refused to follow suit. They had quad-core dies back then, so they could have easily hit back with an 8-core part if they swallowed their pride and put more than one die on a chip! I think it was a terrible move, just when AMD was starting to become irrelevant again.

10 years later, Intel sticks to single-die chips, and AMD has no qualms stuffing a gazillion dies on a chip. Looks like they've learned a lesson or two :)
