I know we all eagerly wait for TF-10000 to be ready for KızılElma. I wonder how much of a performance boost it will bring after AI-322F? Is it mosly anticipated for unreliablilty of Ukranian supply or for the use of a domestic engine?
As per @Pokemonte13 has pointed out, when fully mature, the TF10000 should give 10% or maximum 15% more thrust than the Ukranian engine (going by the performance of TEI on TS1400). The TF10000 has slightly bigger diameter than AI322F. (65cm vs 62.4cm) . It is only logical to expect a higher level of thrust from it.
Using single crystal turbine blades and more advanced parts and technology in it’s design, should result in a much more reliable engine than an old Soviet engine.

But most importantly, TF10000 is being designed to be used in a stealthy aircraft. Hence all parts including fan blades and compressor blades and airflow management should be designed to give minimum reflection of radar signals.

So both, TF6000 and TF10000 engines should outperform the corresponding Ukranian engines both in thrust and definitely in stealth.
