I took a grad school processor design course. There was an equation for calculating the approximate power draw of a processor, and there was a f^4 or something in there, f being frequency. The 6 GHz clock speed has a lot to do with the power consumption.
- phonon 4y agoNo, it's linear with frequency, and proportional to the square of the voltage. Outside of the frequency "sweet spot" you have to crank up the voltage though....and leakage increases as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation
