Lower Power Consumption

Ternary gates reduces switching activity, leading to lower heat generation and improved energy efficiency.

Higher Information Density

Ternary digits (trits) has a higher information density, leading to more compact data.

Optimized for AI & ML

Ternary logic aligns closely with neural network weight representation, leading to more efficient AI and ML models.

Traditional CPUs use binary logic to process data

Why ternary

Moore's law is no longer valid. As transistors approach atomic scale, other factors, like energy consumption and heat generation become the new limiting factors.

With ternary systems, the information density per connector can be increased. A 41 trits system would be on par with 64 bits system.

The benefits of this higher information density will make the actual data storage, communication or actual processing even more efficient.

Ternary computing has been mostly an academic research topic since binary computing became mainstream since 1970.

To bring ternary computing forward we would need to build a lot of new infrastructure and tooling to create something that is actually useful.

The advantage is that we don't need to worry about most of the binary legacy stuff and can focus on a system that is optimized for the future.

Our revolutionary ternary CPU uses a three-state system
