How do we calculate power dissipation for AC termination on a clock signal?
The resistor is dissipating only at the edges(assuming a square wave).

You need to know the clock frequency, the amplitude of the signal, and the capacitance.
Charge is pumped through the resistor with each clock transition.
C = Q / V ; Q = CV .
Q = I t ;


Or you model it with LTspice etc.
