Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through specifications. The graphic below may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 90D and D3400.

To sum up, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon 90D to show more detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern 90D will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
