3DS Specs:
CPU: ARM 11 Dual Core @268Mhz.
Ram: 128MB+6MB Video.
GPU: 133Mhz PICA

New 3DS Specs:
CPU: ARM 11 Quad Core @804Mhz.
Ram: 256MB+10MB Video.
GPU: 204Mhz Pica.

3DS was leagues better.

**********

DS Specs:
CPU: 67Mhz+33Mhz ARM9+7.
Ram: 4MB

DSi Specs:
CPU: 133Mhz+33Mhz ARM9+7.
Ram: 16MB.

Twice the CPU clock, 4x the Ram. GPU details are a little bit weirder due to the type of graphics hardware the DS used.
Either way, the DSi was a big step up.

Yeah, I mean more relative to what would be required for a generational leap for in-game performance and graphics. I could be mistaken but the jump in ram was mostly for OS operations or? In any case the new 3DS still struggled with a wii port and wasn't about to trick anyone into thinking it was a generation apart from the base 3DS.

They aren't supposed to be a generational leap, they are part of the same generation and are advertised as such.
The New 3DS had 64MB dedicated to the OS, where-as the older variant had 32MB.

So still 96MB > 192MB. Aka. Doubling plus 40% more VRAM...
3x CPU clock in conjunction with doubling of the CPU cores was a big big improvement.

By comparison the Playstation 4 Pro was a doubling of GPU resources over the Playstation 4, same capacity Ram, improved CPU clocks.
The Xbox One X over the Xbox One had a big uptick in CPU clocks, massive increase in GPU clocks, 50% more Ram.

But they are all the same generation of devices.
