I don't think Moore's Law is dead.

Starting point: In 1965, the most advanced chips contained roughly 50 to 100 transistors (e.g., early integrated logic).

Lets take 1965 -> 2025, which is 60 years.

Number of doubling intervals: 60 years / 2 years per doubling = 30 doublings

So the theoretical prediction is:

Transistors in 2025 (predicted) = 100 × 2^30 ≈ 107 billion transistors

The Apple M1 Ultra has 114 billion transistors.
