The dynamic power (''[[switching power]]'') dissipated by a chip is ''C·V<sup>2</sup>·A·f'', where C is the [[capacitance]] being switched per clock cycle, V is [[voltage]], A is the
Voltage is therefore the main determinant of power usage and heating.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2014/02/19/why-has-cpu-frequency-ceased-to-grow|author= Victoria Zhislina|date=2014-02-19|title=Why has CPU frequency ceased to grow?|publisher=Intel}}</ref> The voltage required for stable operation is determined by the frequency at which the circuit is clocked, and can be reduced if the frequency is also reduced.<ref>https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/hotpower/tech/full_papers/LeSueur.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref> Dynamic power alone does not account for the total power of the chip, however, as there is also static power, which is primarily because of various leakage currents. Due to static power consumption and asymptotic execution time it has been shown that the energy consumption of software shows convex energy behavior, i.e., there exists an optimal CPU frequency at which energy consumption is minimized.<ref>{{cite arXiv | title = The Energy/Frequency Convexity Rule: Modeling and Experimental Validation on Mobile Devices |year=2014 | eprint = 1401.4655|author1=Karel De Vogeleer |last2=Memmi |first2=Gerard |last3=Jouvelot |first3=Pierre |last4=Coelho |first4=Fabien |class=cs.OH }}</ref>
