Moore's law is indeed faster than exponential. Kurzweil extended the cost
of computation back to 1900 to include mechanical adding machines and the
doubling time is now half as long. Even that is much faster if you go back
to the inventions of the printing press, paper, and written language.

The problem is what function do you fit to the data? Some like e^(T-t) have
singularities around T = 2150-2200. Some like e^e^t grow rapidly but never
reach infinity. Some like tan^-1 t fit but reach a maximum and slow down.
The fact that the universe is finite suggests this.

Transistor clock speeds stalled in 2010. We can't make feature sizes
smaller than atoms, 0.11 nm for silicon. A DRAM capacitor stores a bit
using 8 electrons. So how does Moore's law work beyond that?
