Hold up... when did Moore's law meet its demise?

I've heard that the conjecture is failing as we run into certain physical limits of making computer parts smaller, but I think what you've written indicates the opposite?

Sandy Lake. In the 6 years between the 2500K and the 7600K they've managed to increase performance by about 20% (total, not annually). Same # of cores, same price.

Transistor count & speeds have stagnated since around 2012–2015, and it looks like we're close to some hard limits.
