More likely a dual-core 64 bit does consume around half of what a 32 bit single core consumes. This at least is true for my old 32 bit Athlon and my currently used 64 bit dual core Athlon. Those 64 bit CPUs don't get nearly as hot as the old 32 bit CPUs do. That the newer 64 bit CPUs provide frequency scaling OTOH doesn't make such a big difference regarding power consumption.
