I have been considering picking up the new Fire HD 10. I love the idea of having hands free Alexa, and my current Fire, a 4-year old HDX 7" now needs to be recharged after every hour of use. However, do I understand correctly from the specs that the new Fire HD 10 actually has less processing power than the old HDX? This makes me hesitate. I know that Amazon has shifted it priority on tablets from power to price in recent years, but still I would have thought that their newest highest end tablet would be more powerful than their flagship from 4 years ago. But maybe I am misunderstanding something...
Amazon says the FireHD10 has a quad core 1.8 GHz processor, and my old HDX has a quad core 2.2GHz processor. Is there more to judging the speed of these processors than just the GHz? If someone could clarify, I would appreciate it. I would hate to find that my new tablet has trouble running apps/games that my old one handles fine.
Thanks,
Andrew
