This article dropped into my INBOX this morning

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/294805-is-moores-law-alive-dead-or-pining-for-the-fjords-even-experts-disagree

...which contained a link to this previous article from 2015

https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/203490-moores-law-is-dead-long-live-moores-law

...which contains a photo of a VAX-11/780 as well as a chart containing the phrase "dual-core Itanium2". Not sure why everything I ever worked on eventually ends up on the trash heap but x86-64 fanboys had better beware since my shop has much more of them now (in the form of DL385p_gen8)
