Not in the literal sense but I think it's important to look at it metaphorically. People kind of misinterpret Moore's Law as this statement about the speed of computers but he wasn't talking about that in the paper [0]. He was talking about cost of manufacturing - and implicitly, the rate of innovation (which is throttled by how fast you can bring something to market). Basically Moore's Law was an observation that implied that more complex electronics could be made cheaper as time went on. And in today's marketplace, we shouldn't just look at node size and Moore's law as the complexity bottleneck, because it isn't. Moore himself talks about it in the paper. As an example, Moore pointed out that at the time, "packaging costs so far exceed the cost of the semiconductor structure itself that there is no incentive to improve yields." Today this isn't true anymore - and while Zen2 did see a node shrink, the great innovation that made a more complex device cheaper was the move to chiplets, resulting in greater yields. As well, Moore prophesied the rise of EDA tools and what would become hardware description languages. "The total cost of making a particular system function must be minimized. To do so, we could amortize the engineering over several identical items, or evolve flexible techniques for the engineering of large functions so that no disproportionate expense need be borne by a particular array. Perhaps newly devised design automation procedures could translate from logic diagram to technological realization without any special engineering." What I'm getting at in this ramble is that looking at node size and "Moore's Law" is only a small slice of the pie and not particularly interesting outside of material science. Looking back at what Moore actually wrote - his law is not "dead" outside of the advance of node size, but his advice on the innovation of every other aspect of design is moving at breakneck speed and it's very exciting.
