So chips with ultra-low-k will run hotter ?

You're talking about two different things. A high leakage chip (leaks power) and therefore runs cooler, whereas the opposite is true for a low leakage chip. It is about efficiency.

Also, low heat dissipation = means a hotter chip; no? The heat generated from current has to go somewhere.
