To be precise, Moore’s Law says the number of transistors per unit cost doubles (every two years). https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2018/...
A lot of the new processes have not had the same cost reductions. Also, some increase in transistor count is due to physically larger chips. Also, you have “Epyc Rome” on that graph, which actually isn’t a single chip but uses chiplets.
Not sure that is really true based on the data. Remember, Moore's law says the number of transistors in an IC doubles every two years, which doesnt necessarily mean a doubling of performance. For a while in the 90's, performance was also doubling every two years, but that was largely due to frequency scaling.
