cmos logic still beats it, because main source of heat are switching losses (all these gate + parasitic capacitances being charged and discharged, and some related phenomena). relays store more energy, and that makes situation worse, even if you make them as MEMS
Also consider how much more noise pollution you would get by adding billions of little click-clacks to the operation.
