I do not have access to such for any testing, just a 3B. (Not
a reasonable comparison.) In checking on that, I ran into the
following information:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/revision-codes/README.md
only shows one revision for 3B+:

Code	Model	Revision	RAM	Manufacturer
. . .
a020d3	3B+	1.3	1GB	Sony UK
. . .

Under RaspiOS the revision code shows up via: cat /proc/cpuinfo

It was released in 2018. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi .)
