Has "Moore's Law" been consistent since it reared its head, or has it been constantly tweaked to suit the narrative of it still being correct?

Has "Moore's Law" been consistent since it reared its head, or has it been constantly tweaked to suit the narrative of it still being correct?
- WillAdams 1y agoIt was good up until 1975: https://www.livescience.com/technology/electronics/what-is-moores-law-and-does-this-decades-old-computing-prophecy-still-hold-true https://www.livescience.com/technology/electronics/what-is-m... since then, there have been some adjustments, but it still holds as a prediction of a general trend since as noted in that article: >One reason for the success of Moore’s prediction is that it became a guide — almost a target — for chip designers. but as noted: >The days when we could double the number of transistors on a chip every two years are far behind us. However, Moore’s Law has acted as a pacesetter in a decades-long race to create chips that perform more complicated tasks quicker, especially as our expectations for continual progress continue.
