I wonder if CPU chip layouts include hot-spot distribution, like
putting the hottest bits into the corners or something.

I wouldn't as generally implemented within a more direct approach
ostensibly to remove added abstractions through dynamic modeling
practices as gate clocking and fetch latches contingent upon sensor
relays. Labeled under a safety badge to ensure another preventative
layer against failure conditions, the intent is established in
advantage to saving the core processor when a $2 heatsink or fan
malfunctions or improperly is manipulated outside provisional intents
by which they're packaged and distributed.
