It's much easier to get high efficiency in a car though - you want the engine to run at around 95-100C a massive difference over ambient, with computers you want to run as close to ambient as you can which is much difficult.

kbn, I think you'd have difficulty soldering to a cpu - silicon doesn't bond to solder well and there would likely be issues with shorting the chip.
