The article reads like a puff.

Heat is generated in IC circuits not just by the resistance to the
flow of electricity but by switching losses. Heat is generated every
time a bit switches from 0 to 1 (or vice versa). Even if there are no
ohmic losses, switching losses remain.


The only cause of heat is current through resistance. This happens
*during* the transistion of 0-1 and vice-versa in switching applications.
