Read the full sentence. It includes the fact that the die stacking is also an innovation, and using them together is an innovation.

Those are mechanisms that enable innovation, in and of themselves, they are a curiosity. This moves the needle zero when it comes to competing with AMD.
I believe Intel could do it, but they would have to figure out what they really want.
This is Intel in a nutshell. That was an innovation ARM made a decade ago. So why in the hell is Intel marketing touting it as Intel innovation. They clearly have some understanding of their customer base as morons. The atom cores are basically an expensive failure, doing a bad job of immmitating their larger cousins and a great job of reminding everyone that Intel hasn't designed a new CPU architecture since Itanium.
