I’m surprised nobody has yet (as of this writing) pointed out that Moore’s Law never claimed anything about single threaded execution or clock rates. Moore’s Law is that the number of transistors doubles every two years, and that trend has continued since 2012.
It looks like maybe the slope changed slightly starting around 2006, but it’s funny because this comment ends complaining that Moore’s Law is too good after claiming it’s dead. Yes, software needs to deal with the transistor count. Yes, parallel architectures fit Moore’s law. The need to go to more parallel and more parallel because of Moore’s Law was predicted, even before 2006. It was a talking point in my undergrad classes in the 90s.
