wbmw: Re: I wouldn't presume it scales linearly with frequency.

Unless there has been a change in the laws of physics, this is incorrect. All else being equal, power dissipation scales roughly linearly with frequency. There are minor modification factors that are non-linear, but in every model of power dissipation I have seen it looks something like this:

Power = {(stuff)x(frequency)}/(more stuff) + stuff

Where in general, "stuff" is constants such as voltage and scaling factors. "More stuff" can be slightly non-linear, but for the most part, there is a practical direct proportional relationship between power and frequency.

This is elementary physics.
