it doesn't only consume more power due to the CPU needing to process more. it also consumes more because you need more power to make the screen just as bright, because each pixel has its borders and since you uhave more pixels you have more of those borders so you need more powerful light to make it look just as bright because more light gets blocked. even if you make CPUs more powerful and efficient you will never be able to overcome the other problem.
