No, it still holds. Perhaps you meant what I mistakenly
wrote ;-). Not the processor _speed_ but the number of
transistors doubles every 18 months. Together with the
MHz increase this more than doubles the speed of the
processors. And, as far as what I have read, it will
go on until approx. 2015, then it will reach some
principal problem concerning quantum physics.
But the cute technicians at <insert_favourate_manufacturer
here> will have invented some new technique to keep
Moore's law going...
