You don't have to wait : you can get clockless 32-bit ARM's today.
They are slower, not faster, but are extremely low power.
They are slower because each datatransfer needs handshaking

I heard about the ARM996 about a year ago, but I wasn't aware that
anyone was actually selling it commercially yet. Do you know of any
implementations that are actually orderable now?

I'd actually like to see a clockless machine, one where the whole
machine is
one big asynchronous oscillator, with nothing ever

waiting for a clock pulse.
