That's the other side of low power devices, and part of the the beauty of asynchronous logic, it does nothing better then anything else! Computers like the ga144 'sleep' mid instruction waiting for a pin (button) to change, c

I can't imagine the utility of low-power processors that "aren't trying to be energy efficient per operation" and are "really bad at processing" - I thought that was the whole point! These really are completely
