Pravin, now you've got it. Except that the heat spreader doesn't really help the die temperature. (It's just another heatsink, really) But you see why a lower ambient can be required due to increased power density, with no increase in power dissipation.

In the tests they ran, ambient was the same.

So if they are measuring temps close enough to the die, they should see an increase, even if Winchester dissipates the same or a little less power.
