Power = Capacitance * Voltage ^2 * frequency ; not exponential

  thank you! I just had a simple graph in my head. Now that there is something I can conceptualize, is it : Power = Capacitance * Voltage ^(2 * frequency) or Power = Capacitance * (Voltage ^2) * frequency

    It's Power = Capacitance * (Voltage ^2) * frequency

    The difference in energy stored in a capacitor at two different voltages is 0.5*C*(V^2). A chip will burn that energy 2*(frequency) times per second, so P=C*(V^2)*F. Edit: forgot a half

    The latter. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation#Sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation#So... and https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/33340 https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/33340

    In general you can often work out the answers to questions like this by considering units. In this case, we don't need to figure out what Watts / Farads is(1), we can see that Volts^Hz is not going to give us anything well-behaved. (1)[m^4 kg^2 s^-7 A^-2]
