Hi Qi -

Not sure your exact needs, but you can use a simple model to estimate DRAM
power. Essentially, this:
P = P0 + k * BW
the model parameters are P0 and k, and the input is the memory bandwidth.
You can extract these parameters from a number of places, including the oft
cited Micron DDR3 power calculation white paper and other papers:
http://www.micron.com/~/media/documents/products/technical-note/dram/tn41_01ddr3_power.pdf
http://csl.stanford.edu/~christos/publications/2012.lpddr2.isca.pdf

If you need a more nuanced mode (e.g. on a RAS & CAS basis), just use the
Micron tech note.

Regards,
Pete Stevenson
