I have a 5th generation Paperwhite (as well as 7th gen). The display is not as good and it is noticeably slower. Moreover the interface improvements in the newer devices are significant.

The increase in RAM size has nothing at all to do with the increase in performance.
The devices use a different computer, running at a significantly higher speed.
Check the technical documents on both part numbers, you'll see where the improvement comes from.
Kindles have done TTS for many models prior to those you have.
And we have an add-in that gives the KT speaker independent voice control of the device.
The earlier devices where not limited by the amount of RAM on board.
