The desktop would, I would think, as it is bigger and has more space for that kind of power.

This is correct but not for that reason (desktops are mostly empty space). Laptops are designed to use low power and be portable so they uses more expensive parts that use less power.

Does a desktop processor use more or less power than a laptop processor of the same speed?

the design of the processor controls the true power usage. However, keep in mind that laptops use a stepdown method of reducing power consumption on battary mode (Option to adjust is almost always in the bios settings) if you are curious about speed, a Desktop processor versus a laptop processor in perfromance usually fails to match true clock speeds because of heat issues. Example, a Celeron 1.2ghz, will out perfrom a couterpart P4 1.2 in laptops because it uses less power and produces less heat. REF: toshiba A10 Celeron versus Dell P4 latitude , At first the Dell would be faster on boot, but under load (Heavy gaming) the dell would slow down, and the toshiba would keep about the same framrate (In Iraq, 2003 Outside temp 135 F)
