Jun 8, 2020 at 7:14 comment added Nobody "today asynchronous circuits are typically used in a few critical parts of otherwise synchronous systems where speed is at a premium, such as signal processing circuits", see the dedicated Wikipedia page on this topic. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/….
Jun 8, 2020 at 6:03 comment added user16034 @Nobody: do you have examples of asynchronous computers ?
Jun 7, 2020 at 9:34 comment added Nobody For most applications, asynchronous computers aren't worth it or at least we don't have the tools to effectively design them. But asynchronous logic is still a thing and a clock is not a defining characteristic of a computer.
