Power dissipation of core i3 370m

Hello,

I'm an engineer student and I had to estimate the power dissipation of the processor in the title. I know that tis power has two aspects, static and dynamic power.

Transistors in processor are modelised by capacitor, and I consider that all transistors are switching in same time.

So, if my frequency is f, the dynamic power is P = 1/2.n.C.f.U², n is the number of transistors, C the capacity of the transistor and U the supply voltage.

About static power, P = Icc.Vcc.

But, my transistor is consider as capacitor plan so C = epsilon.surface/insulating thickness.

I can't find this surface, there is no information on datasheets. Maybe someone knows how to find this capacity ?

Or calculate power dissipation without C ?

Thanks

Hello, thanks for contacting us through the Intel Communities.

I would need to request this information to the appropriate department, so I might take me a few days to get a respond.

I will post the reply on this thread once I receive it.

Thanks a lot.
