I see what you’re saying but I believe there’s an issue at the silicon level where the gates literally use more power to do the same work at higher frequencies.

- jhgb 5y agoIt's a well-known feature of CMOS gates that they consume almost all of their power at the moments of switching. AFAIK only recently has static leakage become substantial, necessitating power gating.
- garaetjjte 5y agoHigher frequencies require higher voltage though, and this will increase power consumption.
