Power Management has changed from same P-states for all cores, same core and uncore frequency to: Per-core P-States with independent uncore frequency scaling, and energy efficient turbo boost.
Xeon E3-1230 v3 | by William-Harmon (Sep, 2014)

L3 cache

The result is lower cache-to-cache transfer latencies, and reduced directory updates and reads of hotly contested lines.
Xeon E3-1230 v3 | by William-Harmon (Sep, 2014)

TDP

Nevertheless, there are certain efficiencies exploited in the new platform and the v3 version of this CPU has a lower power delta than the v2 does, even with the higher TDP.
