In the age of TTL, ECL or even NMOS, that might have been true, power
usage was pretty much independent of the computational load in
those days.

Now we have CMOS and dark silicon, gate switching (aka computation)
determines energy consumption and the things that go with it (cooling
costs, semiconductor aging, etc).
