You are comparing different CPU brands with each other .


Assume that two CPUs are produced with the  SAME technology .
A 64 bit CPU will contain more circuits than a 32 bit CPU , means more
power it will use because amount of power will be proportional to  number
of circuit components and length of connection lines .


Thank you very much .
