To a typical consumer "Moore's Law" used to mean they could buy a computer that's the same price but twice as fast as the one they bought a couple of years ago.

To a typical consumer "Moore's Law" used to mean they could buy a computer that's the same price but twice as fast as the one they bought a couple of years ago. That trend has been dead for a while now.
The technical definition of Moore's Law is still standing, but it's relevance has retreated into areas where relatively few people notice. E.g. massively multi-core server chips and flagship phone SoCs.
