These graphs look linear to you? https://blog.stuffedcow.net/2012/07/ivy-bridge-power-consumption/ https://blog.stuffedcow.net/2012/07/ivy-bridge-power-consump

  These graphs look like they depict f only scaling?

    Who said anything about f? I said "power consumption increases exponentially with clock speed" not "power consumption increases exponentially with f". That any modern processor has to crank up V to crank up its clock speed is a given. Hence, power consumption is exponential with clock speed (which is achieved by cranking up both V - the polynomial term in P – and f). (Which, fine, if you want to be pedantic, is polynomial growth, but that changes nothing about the point, which is that you have to burn a shitload more power at 5 GHz than at 3.2 GHz, because your consumption isn't scaling anything close to linear).

      Clock speed is just f.
