is it any topic/char/list of cpu processors coverted in MIPS power and some information about their power consumption?

Maybe? MIPS isn't some thing that people refer to when measuring processor performance.

Here's the thing, you're looking for a straight answer with a number associated with it. That list may exist but there are some problems with that. One if the issues up front is every test of "horse power" (if you will) and power consumption is different. One test could have wattage at 130w. Another could have 135w. I doubt each test varies drastically, but the point is, you might not be able to find a list that says: i7 2700k uses average 132w at 3.4 Ghz. Then a test could show a different wattage at a different clock rate.

Besides, when you get to the tens or hundreds of MIPS, when does a MIP become irrelevant?
