SI derived unit SI derived unit SI derived units are units of measurement derived from the seven base units specified by the International System of Units (SI). They are either dimensionless or can be expressed as a product of one or more of the base units, possibly scaled by an appropriate power of exponentiation. The SI has special names for 22 of these derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the rest merely reflect their derivation: for example, the square metre (m), the SI derived unit of area; and the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m or kg
Frequency scaling cycle is by definition the inverse of processor frequency. An increase in frequency thus decreases runtime. However, power consumption in a chip is given by the equation where "P" is power consumption, "C" is the capacitance being switched per clock cycle, "V" is voltage, and "F" is the processor frequency (cycles per second). Increases in frequency thus increase the amount of power used in a processor. Increasing processor power consumption led ultimately to Intel's May 2004 cancellation of its Tejas and Jayhawk processors, which is generally cited as the end of frequency scaling as the dominant computer architecture paradigm.
