What is it you think Moore's law has to do with netburst exactly? Moore's law is based on performance, not clock rates. Additionally x86 has been risc like for many years. The multiple micro ops idea has been in practice for about a decade. Also, contrary to what you've suggested clock rates are becoming a focus again (not soley, but equally to core count). Devil's Canyon modifications support this, as does the fact you can buy x86 cpus whose stock frequencies are 5ghz. Why would A-eon make a board supporting 16* the memory the os its designed for?
No offense intended, but your post reads like something strung together by someone who's trying to sound more informed than they are. More holes than solid.



sigh... Moore's law actually had nothing to do with performance per say.  It was about complexity.

"The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year (see graph on next page). Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years. That means by 1975, the number of components per integrated circuit for minimum cost will be 65,000."
