.. No
This article is honestly worthless, it doesn't address the actual challenges & strengths of moving to ternary or a different base system. Binary is superior mostly because the components are way more reliable and therefor can be made much much smaller for the same price.
Trust me if Nvidia or Snapdragon could make a chip or even a whole prebuild computer working in base 3 that was 5% more efficient for the same price they ABSOLUTLY would and would get rich doing it.
