well when i was talking about how 6 cores will leave 110 and 111 core-less, its more of an in-convenience, its not really a bad thing.
its not going to affect performance and stuff. using trinary (or Ternary) won't really add any performance gains, it will just make the core numbering more conveniant.
but if they were to use Ternary, then it really wouldn't make sense, because all other computing parts use binary, and they wouldn't be able to communicate easily.
