Different CPUs use different amounts of power. Power is measured in Watts (W). A CPU usually generates approximately a similar amount of heat (again, in Watts) as it absorbs in terms of electrical power. This then has to be removed using some form of cooling mechanism.
Power usage (under maximum load, non-overclocked) for your processors can be found here:
Intel CPUs
AMD CPUs
K7 - Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron, etc
K8 - Sempron, Opteron SC, Athlon 64
