I (and others) were noticing this comparison back in the 1990s, when the 777 and the A330/340 were both coming into service together. This was the decade before the A380 introduction.
I would have thought that if Boeing had fundamentally redone the air con for the 777X they would have mentioned it extensively, just like they have announced the cabin wall insulation reduction. But nothing.
