What do you think of the idea that clockless circuits have greater potential?
Can you see asynchronous design applied widely in the future?
Synchronous processors are the mainstream, they are easier to design, simple to iterate into large solutions, as cheap as NAND, as slow as their highest propagation delay.
Async have adaptive scaling of speed/power vars, can work with non-ideal/identical components, more potential speed, less power per operation.
On the other hand, largely unexplored and thus not directly comparable.
