Moore's Law has nothing to do with clock speed.

Aside from the obvious problems in your comparison. Moore's Law says nothing about frequency. The "rule" that changed around 2006 was Dennard scaling.

And the 2.5GHz chip you are using now n years later has (very) approximately 2^n more transistors - think about the increase in the number of cores, the large number of different execution units, the increased width of the data busses, that vast amount of on-die cache and so on. These all increase the transistor count, but feature size is also getting smaller, allowing the total transistor density to increase in line with Moore's law.
