Clockless Chips

Posted by Hemos on from the really-think-different dept.

iarkin writes "TechReview is running a very interesting article about clockless chips. Clockless, or asynchronous, chips work very much faster and consume less power than their synchronous equivalents (Intel hade some experiments on these chips back in -97, the results showed that the asynchronous chips were three times faster and consumed only half the power)."

    I can't wait to see all of the timing errors that will pop up in software due to this. The defect reports due to race conditions alone will fill up Gigs of storage. Not to mention that systems will be as individual as fingerprints! Hours of debugging fun!!!
