How to calculate STM32H743 power consumption and dissipation?

How to calculate the power consumption of STM32H743 from datasheet, theoretically as close as possible to the actual value? What parameters should be considered?

Also, I want to calculate the heat generated from MCU -- dissipated power (in W). How to calculate that?

    You can never do an exact calculation - it will always be an estimate

    The datasheet gives you power consumption figures - use them.

    There is also a power estimator in CubeMX (standalone, or within CubeIDE).

    Or use a dev board, and measure it.
