Moore's law isn't based on a machine ability to run software though. One could argue Moore's law isn't relevant anymore but that's different from whether it's dead or not. Either because adoption of new hardware has slowed down, or because we hit a tipping point where CPU power available is much greater than most software's need to utilize it means that performance gains exist. Modern hardware is faster than 2011 or 2013 hardware but the pressure to upgrade because things run crummy on old hardware just isn't there like it used to be.
