Hardware is even-driven not asynchronous (the event-driven paradigm is an asynchronous paradigm, but I assume here you mean asynchronous as in async/await)

async/await is just a syntax built on top of an event driven architecture. Even at the highest level, this is backed by an event loop.

Use of an event loop is the original asynchronous application design.
