"Why is not MIPS used as a main measure of chip power??"

It's been tried. MIPS is even used in the embedded market still. But consider the current situation for desktops. Would a tight, do nothing loop suffice? How about something that fits into the L1 cache? L2? Turn off the caches and run from main memory? Caches are only one complication.
