how does a cpu convert virtually 100% of energy to heat when it uses energy to do calculations?

Question

I’m confused. I did some research online, and learned that cpu’s can essentially double has a hotplate, because 99-100% of electricity consumed is turned into heat. how? doesn’t the cpu use energy to make calcuations and render things? I’m real confused.

All energy goes to heat eventually and data is very very light so it can’t absorb much of the energy.
