Not really, AMULET was an asynchronous (i.e. un-clocked) ARM implementation intended to explore a new cpu design.
The aim was low-power-usage, but they came at it from a different direction. This is referring to the OS control over power-states on a traditional (clocked) processor.
AMULET gained its low-power capabilities from not clocking any unused functional blocks during normal usage, same aim, different strategy.
