If you know current or resistance you can calculate (not convert) voltage from power...
P=V*I=V^2/R=I^2*R
You can convert watts to hors power, because they are power units. You can convert miles to metres, galons to litres, unces to kilogramms, but not watt to volt...
Oh, ok, well this is totaly difrent thing. Well not sure but i think that the core voltage of processor is around 1.3V. Has nothing to do with power. Voltage is constant here, not the power. Power may varie depending what you do.
It just means that your core current is :
I=P/V=95W/1.3V=73A
Power consumption in a processor is down to many things, operating voltage being one of them. The switching speed (frequency of operation) etc all contribute to the current.
Power = Voltage x Current.
Oh, and I'm not arguing - I'm just answering your question.
Also the power requirements of a CPU is typically the maximum current that the chip can handle. As mentioned power requirements are a function of several factors not least being the resistance since heat affects resistance and resistance affects the current the power of the CPU is also a factor of the ambient / die temperature.
However - you cannot convert Watts into volts, amperes, ohms etc. What you can achieve is to determine the current required to produce a specific power level given the voltage / resistance and that type of thing.
