I remember reading somewhere that because Ternary computing is inherently reversible, that from an information theoretic point of view that ternary computations have a lower theoretical bound on energy usage, and as such could be a way to bypass heat dissipation problems in chips built with ultra-high density, large size, and high computational load.
I wasn't knowledgeable enough to evaluate that claim at the time, and I'm still not.
