Single core performance and transistor count are not the same thing and have been disconnected for two decades.

Moore's law was about transistors and cost, you were equating it to performance.

You have brought a lot of your own assumptions to that reading. OP asked if doubling or tripling core count counted as keeping up with Moore’s law. I pointed out that in the case of the M series (the topic of the thread), regardless of core count, transistor count did not double or triple.
