You have to be careful about what Moore's law actually says. It says that transistor density doubles roughly every 2 years. So transistor count can still be increasing while Moore's law is null and void. Most lithographers I've talked with have said that Moore's law is basically done for, and its demise is due to economics and not physics. It's getting MORE expensive to produce higher transistor densities due to the very complicated manufacturing processes. So fabs can still produce processors with smaller transistors but you probably won't buy them.
