Which CPU needs less power and hence produces less heat:

Athlon XP or Athon 64 ?

You can buy some pretty hot Athlon 64s, but for the same performance,
I would say that the Athlon 64 is cooler, and you can use Cool'n'Quiet
to lower the clock rate and voltage, running it even cooler; it also
depends on the Athlon 64. The 90nm types are cooler than the 130nm
types.
