Think of a bulb and the exeriments we did in the physics lab about 2 years ago

Since silicon chips are non ohmic, then the resistance changes with temp. You can't predict by how much unless you do some experimentations
The power used in a cpu is to switch the transistors on and off. The resistance variation due to temperature is neglidgable compared to the variations due to other things. It isn't as simple as comparing a CPU with a bulb
