Answer

The temperature all over the chip is constant.

Answer

temperature of each place on the chip is the same

Answer

Right, singular; there is no big difference between "each" and "every" in this case. Once you choose "s", it's to be "are" the same (the second sentence). People just don't care trivial stuff like this sometimes, it's not grammatically unacceptable, but logically. Like saying "heads of every one are connected to their necks", "everyone has his/her/their own problems", could be ambiguous: Could mean "each place has more than one temperature".
