Is asynchronous logic good for low-power?

Low-power applications are becoming increasingly important and conventional synchronous techniques are starting to hit serious problems in the quest for high performance. The juxtaposition of these two trends has renewed an interest in asynchronous design methodologies. These techniques, once dismissed as too difficult, are now proving tractable and convincing demonstrators have been now been produced. These demonstrators prove the feasibility of asynchronous circuit techniques and their ability to reduce power consumption
