This is a chart from the September issue of OXM showing the differences between the three chipsets that the 360 uses. For those who don't know, Xenon was the original chipset, Jasper was the first revision, and the Vahalla is what is currently used in the 360S.
The test were done with the 360 sitting horizontally. The temperatures given are internal readings except for the exhaust temperature. As the chart shows the new 360 uses 15-20 % less power than the Jasper's and runs about 15 degrees cooler on average.
