(Even if we ignore the difference on the cost versus number of transistors or components.)
12 months, 18 months, 24 months. How long is it? I have no clue with regards to the answer. It seems to me we first need to agree on the definition of a law before we can discuss it.
From https://www.cnet.com/news/moores-law-to-roll-on-for-another-... (a source for the the Wikipedia page).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count
2019 - Epyc ROME: 32B transistors 2009 - Six-core Opteron 2400 - 0.9B transistors
(32/0.9)^(1/5) = 2.04, so it seems that Moore's law is actually working well.
If it was once 100 years it was also still exponential.
