Hello Yaseen Vantmuri,

The only document we have available on this regard is Application Note 12338 (link below), which you have probably already read.

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12338.pdf

There is not a dedicated App Note for the Dual version, but it may give a gross estimate if you consider that the VDD_CPU rail (Cortex A35 complex) would power only two cores.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards,
