Err.. that A and B are in multiples of a third millimeter apart.

You'd probably need asynchronous buses, asyncronous memory devices etc. too.
The distance between processor and main memory, for example, could be a load of clock ticks, often with several signals travelling on the same wire. But as long as equipment can handle asyncronous signalling (in addition to the speed of course) it's far from impossible.
