What energy does the CPU convert the electricity it consumes into during its operation?

Question

Physics

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) consumes power. Is all consumed electricity converted into heat energy? If not all, then what other energy is it converted into (according to the physical law of conservation of energy)?

Answer 1

The CPU produces information, and this is an intangible substance. And the material electricity that comes into it is almost completely converted into heat, and a very small fraction - into electromagnetic radiation.

Answer 2

Almost all in thermal (dissipation on the radiator). Part remains electricity (memory cells in SSD), part is converted into magnetic (memory cells HDD). A little into the mechanical (sound from the speakers, air movement by the cooler, DVD motor), into the light (monitor radiation, various LEDs). Well, the rest into the chemical one (recorded DVD-RW, increased oxidation of parts on the board, swollen capacitor).
