I don’t think the main reason for Moore’s law slowdown is technical one. Intel enjoyed no competition for quite a few years. They simply lacked incentive to improve performance of their chips. In areas with healthy competition, mobile processors and GPUs, Moore’s law still doing OK. E.g. here’s a graph I recently made for top of the line single-chip nVidia GPUs: http://const.me/tmp/nvidia-gpus.png http://const.me/tmp/nvidia-gpus.png The numbers represent single precision floating-point performance. The graph is in logarithmic scale and it looks pretty close to the exponential growth predicted by Moore’s law.
