Moore's Law

I am so sick of Moore's Law. CNET love to treat it like it is a fact, instead of just a projection, and I really don't understand why.

Sun's pioneering effort

Long before Intel abandoned its clock speed based marketing machine, Sun Micro had figured out both how to design and deliver performant 64-bit processors with low clock speeds AND the ideas of multiple core processors.
The article seems to present Intel as a pioneer on the multicore processors is misleading. And the fixation with Moore's law is a bane impacting the quality of processors that get dished out mainly for marketing reasons.
