It's not making much sense.

Try thinking through it again with a fixed quantity of heat being transferred. That heat being equal to the electrical energy dissipated in the die. (In actuality there will be heat drawn out of the motherboard, air, etc, but it's probably best to neglect these for the first pass at trying to understand what's going on.)

Instead of the amount of heat changing, think in terms of how temperatures need to change in order to move that fixed amount of heat.
