I was looking for this comment and I think you're exactly right.
Over the years, Moore's Law became a household term for computer performance doubling every couple of years. Under that definition, Moore's Law died in 2005 with Dennard Scaling so for most intents and purposes, Moore's Law has been dead for a long time.
It only held under the more restrictive definition of performance for tasks that were able to be parallelized perfectly, but even that has now been broken.
You could also argue that Moore's Law died in 2005 because the term CPU used to refer to what we now know as a CPU 'core' and the term was redefined.
Ultimately, what matters is that the performance the end user experiences hasn't been doubling every 2 years since 2005.
