AMD didn't accuse Intel of pasting the C2D's together. They just noted that theirs was a "true quadcore CPU". There is a distinction they were noting that theirs was a complete 4 core die and the competitors was not.
Intel's slide doesn't just state that theirs are a single die. They are suggesting A.) that by using Zeppelin dies its not a real server CPU and B.) with the gluing (hammering, stitching, or stapling are other derogatory terms) that it is an unprofessional pairing of dies.
Which is a bad move PR wise. Specially when the vocal public tends to root for the underdog. It's one thing to tell people why your stuff is good. But it's bad to attack or insult the competitor. Or in this case "Ours is a single die" is fine. "Theirs is just a bunch of desktop CPU's glued together" isn't"
