The article continues to blatantly misconstrue "Moore's Law".
"... the chip industry dictum, known as Moore's Law, that projects a doubling of computing power roughly every two years."

This is NOT what Moore said in his paper or since. The average end user will never get this right if even reporters (and their editors) don't get it right either.

Nothing about computing power!

In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore saw the future. His prediction, popularly known as Moore's Law, states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles about every two years. This observation about silicon integration, made a reality by Intel, has fueled the worldwide technology revolution.
