I'm afraid the machine you'd get would be a furnace or a torch... AFAIK power that you'd need to dissipate is linear on frequency, so unless we will discover technology to radically lower the voltage used in CPUs or some other parameter, dissipating 100x heat would be kind of a big problem for such CPU.
