I have found a comprehensive power consumption measurements for i.MX6 dual/quad (Cortex-A9) boards. https://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/app_note/AN4509.pdf The boards have DDR3 memories not LPDDR3 PoP but it is also measured and mentioned explicitly. There are many use case scenarios covered, which use different devices in the SoC.
