who’d they steal this technology from......??

Stealing was probably not necessary. x86 assembly language and processor design is taught in the ECE/CS departments of most major U.S. universities.

However, some of AMD’s newer, cutting-edge innovations might have been transferred, but then again, there’s Intel, and I highly doubt that they are going to give away their newest and most shiny designs.

The fact that the Chinese are only now “mastering” basic x86 processor design and assembly language is NOT at all impressive.

The answer is in the beginning of the article: "Thanks to AMD". But, it wasn't stolen. It was given or transferred to them by our eager and greedy technology firms, in this case AMD.
