IDK if Moore's law restarting is possible. But I wouldn't rule out some sort of non-silicon compute breakthrough that functionally jumps us a couple orders of magnitude. The entire world economy being aggressively focused on compute seems like a good environment to drive investment into figuring out photonic computers or whatever. We do know at least one other non silicon highly energy efficient compute technology (biological brain) exists and works very well
