Sorry for the late answer!

The slim uses 300 W, the normal one 350W.

Why? - They simply redesigned the motherboard (to make it smaller and more efficient, produces less heat), they used a 6nm chip instead of a 7nm chip (same power, but less heat generated), they oped for a more passive cooling solution.

Is changing the one chip enough to count it as separate hardware to test?

Not to mention that different cooling capabilities could result in different performance, too.
