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)."

    If they are faster consume a lot less power that would make them great for laptops. The only complaint I have with my laptop is battery life. Any idea of how long before this technology might be available?
