OK quick question or riddle.

What's wrong with this?

1. 8 cores on one die is suspect. I'm sure it's 4 core max, and 8 core will be MCP.

2. Independent power planes might be incorrect. That's a big 'MIGHT'.

Not too sure what else could be wrong. Why is the date incorrect?

I don't see why you are nitpicking over 'who did what first'. Even if Intel did something first, AMD came out with the first mainstream (mass-market) version and thus popularized the concept.
