In 2026 Moore's law has mostly stopped. My computer from 10 years ago still has acceptable performance today. My computer from 15 years ago would struggle a bit but still get the job done. This is nothing like the 90s where you actually could wait two years for all of that year's conceivable performance problems to be solved.

Dennard scaling has stopped (performance/clock speed increasing), Moore's law means mostly transistor count or density. The former is still going strong, the latter is slowing down.
