Hate to break it to you but there is no more Moore's law. Or at least not like it used to be.
It used to be when you did a shrink you got (1) faster clocks, (2) lower power consumption, (3) more transistors per square cm, (4) lower cost per transistor.
We lost (1) around 2005, we are losing (4) right now. It's not accidental at all that people are complaining about the 40-series graphics cards not being worth it because the price per transistor is now going sideways and may very well go up.
