New fridges and freezers (and A/C, heat pumps, etc.) use a scroll (spiral) compressor, which is more efficient than the old piston type. Also, wall thickness doesn't always determine insulation efficiency. Some materials insulate better than others of the same thickness. Compare mineral wool, styrofoam and vacuumpacked foam.
