I guess that would depend on your interpretation of Moore’s law.
Improvement in semiconductor performance is clearly not dead.
But “[relatively] easy automatic wins” from moving to a new node are starting to become less common. Prices for new nodes are not getting cheaper (even on a standardized basis), performance/efficiency/size gains are becoming more modest and ramp-up/deployment times are becoming longer and longer.
Yeah true, no need to nitpick about transistors per mm² :-)
Stuff gets denser, sometimes more efficient, and it goes on and on, more to the rhyme of international markets today than trying to keep up with old Moore.
It also feels like the target market have changed (again), from better PCs to handhelds, for example.
