See this graph:

The green line was the only one still going, and it plateaued about a year ago (you'd see that in a newer graph).

The green line is the only one that Moore's law is about. Power consumption plateauing is a good thing, clock speed was never going to be the primary driver of performance increases long-term, and instruction-level parellelism (green line) is not a measure of performance-per-clock-cycle.
