Moore's law always was an economic roadmap. Everything in the semiconductor industry is (was) planned around the transistor density doubling every two years, from hardware investments, to market segmentation, to microarchitecture design, to software optimizations. So I think it makes sense that they go on with pushing transistor density from generation to generation, and convey it to the public using names it is already familiar with. It's right that power has severely limited performance despite increasing the transistor density lately. Maybe we'll once again get better with adiabatic computing?
