Well, Moore's law is used by the semiconductor industry as a road map, so no wonder it's that accurate.

It's still a wonder that they manage to hit their road map goals so consistently. If Moore's Law holds because the industry works to uphold the goal, why not set the goal to be a doubling each month, while you're at it?

Clearly there must be some limits to what is possible in theory and to what makes sense economically, and it's strange that Moore's law continues to meet both constraints year after year.

Clock frequency seems to have already leveled out, Moore's law continues to hold for transistor density.
