But where's the leadership even remotely comparable to what Intel innovated over those same 30 years? Dynamic RAMs, EPROMs, the microprocessor, the development system, several major architectures...

Let me put the question back to you, regarding Intel:

Where's the leadership even remotely comparable to what Intel innovated over 30 years ago? Dynamic RAMs, EPROMs, the microprocessor, the development system...all of those innovations came before you even went to work there.

...several major architectures...most of which were failures. The most successful by far was the IA-32.

...that vaulted Intel to become the #1 chip producer in the world?

Vaunted Intel vaulted to #1 through a virtual monopoly on x86 chips. They abandoned the DRAM business where you made your most significant contribution. Intel makes all of its profit on IA-32; everything else is just "Other".
