Theoretically, 8pt on the older screens, should give you the same charactersize as 12pt on the newer devices.
Likewise, while 8pt is still readable on a 200dpi screen, though letters are jagged up a bit, 8pt on a 300DPI device is so small you'd need a magnifying glass to see it, unless they somewhat applied a zoom factor on those larger dpi screens to make them visually the same size as on the 200dpi screens (which I think is the case)

Just to raise a nit, with the same font, 8 point type will be the same size on either the 200dpi or the 300dpi screen (the em square would be ~8/72" on a side). I mentioned the same font since there are variances in how much of the em square is used so different fonts can be a different size at the same point setting. I'd suspect that you meant pixel since 8 points would be ~22 pixels on the 200 DPI screen and ~33 pixels on the 300 DPI screen.any length of time.
