Singular or plural?
Temperature of everyplace on the chip (integrated circuit) is the same.
or temperatures of everyplace on the chip is the same.
or temperature of each place on the chip is the same.
or temperatures of each place on the chip are the same.
I think the singular form of temperature is correct. Then, what's your opinion?

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".
