- Low power consumption, due to fine-grain clock gating and zero standby power consumption.
- High operating speed, as operating speed is determined by actual local latencies rather than global worst case latency.
- Less emission of electromagnetic noise, because the local clocks tend to tick at random points in time.
- Robustness towards variations in supply voltage, temperature, and fabrication process parameters, because timing is based on matched delays (and can even be insensitive to circuit and wire delays).
