I ran Geekbench 3 on my HD8 (2017) and HD8 Plus (2020).
Single core score 629 vs 922
Multi-Core score 1860 vs 2792

So roughly 50% faster.

GFX OpenGL
Here it is more dramatic. The older Fire couldn’t even run some of the tests, and of those they both ran, the Plus was 2-6x faster.

It’s also much faster than my Samsung Galaxy Tab, which is a little faster than my older Fire.

I don’t intend to install Google Play or use the Plus for any web browsing but it is reasonable to suppose that Firefox would run much better on one of the new Fires than on your (even older than my old) Fire.

That said, it is a cheap tablet so it isn’t going to blow you away.
