As there is no voltage change, the relationship between power to rate of work done should be proportional. A computation running 10 percent faster should take 10 percent more power and finish 10 percent sooner.What about difference in power consumption? Increased?
Having a Pi4 B 4GB and a Pi 4B 8GB I want to test this hack on...
The above implies there would be no effect on performance/power type efficiency; however, if one adds in the constant power draw of a monitor and other peripherals, then efficiency goes up as the total time to finish the work goes down.
Said another way, a car gets zero miles per gallon when idle at a red light no matter how low the fuel consumption is at idle. At the same time, turning a computer off and on again incurs additional wear and power consumption while rebooting.
