> Double the frequency, quadruple the power consumption.
This is (approximately) true for components that are actually connected to the clock. But not all
components that draw current are. As a matter of fact I'd think that the majority are not. And of
those that are, some are probably connected to a lower-frequency clock derived from the main clock.
So doubling the frequency would certainly result in increased power consumption, but I don't think
it would be anywhere near four times that of a normal Newton.
