There is a possibility space there. Some transistors are "naturally" ternary (which we use today for things like binary error correction). Also the Soviet Union went down the rabbit hole of ternary computers and programming languages, which is fascinating history to explore.

The interesting questions are if enough LLMs use ternary enough and for long enough into the future to make investments in ternary hardware worth it. Ternary hardware is probably less general purpose than the modern GPU design that is being used for LLMs today and the crossover of "general purpose floating point matrix math engine" for graphics as well as LLMs a useful one, particularly because we know the graphics revenue models pretty well (and gamers are pretty upset at GPU pricing right now because of LLM demand).
