I mean that literally in this case. Power increases directly in proportion with frequency and with the square of the voltage. That’s why higher clock speeds require more power, but if you also need more voltage to stabilize those higher clocks, you get a double whammy. The reverse is also true, naturally—drop the voltage and/or frequency and you can reduce power requirements.
