Not really. Baseboard heaters are rated in watts. W = Amps x Volts has not changed since electricity came into being. What has changed are some of the designs of the baseboard heaters. Some heat oil in the baseboard heaters, which dissipate the heat out at a more even heat. On the market now are new types of thrermostats that pulse the baseboard heaters for a more regulated heat rather just turning them on when the thermostat calls for heat and turns them off when the thermostat is satisfied.
