i.MX 6SoloX Core Power/Frequency

[tomsaluzzo]

What is the power savings on i.MX 6SoloX when scaling Cortex-A9 frequency to 800MHz, 500MHz, and 300MHz?

How much power can be saved by shutting off the GPU, VPU, and IPU blocks?

Hi Tom

from arm docs : Cortex A9 0.25 mW/Mhz

(250mW @ 1GHz) per http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a9.php

i.MX6SX has not vpu, seems there are no data for power consumption of separate modules,

one can make comparative analysis using for example data for Use case 1 and case "Typical max power"

from AN5050 i.MX 6SoloX Power Consumption Measurement
