Label x-axis of Plot with power of two values

Question

I want to make a plot similar to LogLinearPlot, but with power of 2 ticks instead of 10 on x axis.

values = {n -> 2^x}
Plot[{Evaluate[f[n] /. values]}, {x, 2, 10}]

How to mark x axis with 2^2, 2^3, ... , 2^10 instead of default 2, 3, ..., 10 ?

It's not really clear what you want. How about this? Plot[{2^x}, {x, 2, 10}, Ticks -> {Range[2, 10], 2^Range[2, 10]}] — akater, May 08 '14 at 19:50
to belisarius - that is an important note about capital letters, changed N to n to avoid unnecessary confusion. — megasplash, May 10 '14 at 09:55

For illustrative purposes:

DiscretePlot[x, {x, 0, 10}, Frame -> True, 
 FrameTicks -> {Table[{j, 
     Style[Superscript[2, j], ScriptSizeMultipliers -> {0.15}, 
      ScriptBaselineShifts -> {0, 1}]}, {j, 10}], Automatic, None, 
   None}, BaseStyle -> 16, 
 PlotLabel -> "\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(log\), \(2\)]\)(n)"]

enter image description here

I added the options ScriptSizeMultipliers and ScriptBaselineShifts to illustrate the customizability of appearance (i.e. feel free to play with).
