The die shrink from a 90nm to a 80nm manufacturing process probably has led to some improvements in both power consumption and hence heat output. Or it could be that the Accelero X2 is indeed an excellent cooler. We have no definitive answer as to which factor influenced the outcome more crucially until we can test a reference board. The important fact is that the PowerColor Radeon X1950 PRO was one of the coolest high-end cards from ATI we have seen in a long while and even edged the NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS in terms of lower temperatures. NVIDIA's edge in this department looks to have disappeared.
