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
CAD tools to assist in this kind of design do exists.

I think the
problem is computer design rather than the chip design --
I'd actually like to see a clockless machine, one where the whole
machine is one big asynchronous oscillator, with nothing ever stalling
waiting for a clock pulse.
