When Moore's law died, they just started doing the only thing they knew how to do ... start putting more cores onto a single die. Network speeds have not signfiicantly increased. CPU's have not significantly increased. (Although there have been some improvements, it's definitely *not* what we were calling Moore's law.) Memory has grown. And disk sizes (but not speeds) have grown. All the effort now is smaller power, lower cost. Performance is barely growing anymore.
