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


Did you think I said otherwise?


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.
