Other posts are suggesting chip die reductions and more power efficient RAM, but that does not seem likely since I don't think AMD has delivered a smaller die APU yet.
Most likely this is a newly designed internal power supply. The new power supply would explain the improvements without requiring any changes to the electronics:
1) draw a bit less power
2) make the PS4 lighter
