> What would be good, is an advanced in design tools to accommodate asynchronous(clockless) CPU design over synchronous(clock fixed ala most CPU's and all X86 today). But then the design overheads really are the limiting factor, many (not all) could be reduced with advances in design tooling.
Asynchronous means that all your busses have to carry, and your logic units calculate, readiness information. That's extra work to be explicit in detail about something that's implicit in clocked designs where it's all pre-calculated and summarized into the (externally documented) maximum frequency.
