Intel gives in and will follow AMD's lead to SOI-based transistors.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- In a move to address the power concerns of future microprocessors, Intel Corp. here today announced a new transistor structure that marks the company's initial use of high-k dielectrics, epitaxial wafers, and a real shocker--silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. Until now, Intel has dismissed SOI technology for use in processor design

Intel says "Thin SOI" superior to SOI:
Officials from Intel denied that it's behind AMD, IBM and others in this space, claiming that it will skip traditional SOI wafers and move to a next-generation technology called "thin SOI" or fully-depleted SOI.
