The new one is probably an nvme attached directly to PCIe, and the other is probably connecting over SATA. These days, no two SSDs are the same.

They are both NVMe.
Apple bought a company that developed NVMe SSD controllers and has been producing it's own custom controllers for a few years now.

The 2018 MacBook Pro is just using a newer high performance version of the controller.
>The T2 is also Apple’s SSD controller, so this means that the MBP is getting a SSD upgrade. Apple is now offering up to 4TB of SSD storage on the 15-inch MBP and 2TB on the 13-inch model. And judging from some of the numbers the 4TB iMac Pro has put up with the same controller, the 15-inch MBP stands to have chart-topping SSD performance.
