On 2017 & 2018 models the F3 has 10 less HP than the F3S - 105 vs 115. The torque is the same on both.
One other thing that will effect performance on the '17 & '18 models is a smaller rear sprocket on the F3.
On 2015 & 2016 models the HP is the same on both - 115 HP.

My 2017 F3 has better acceleration than my old 2015 F3S .

I thought the only F3 series that got the smaller sprocket were the 17 & 18 limited.

Nope, they put it on the base model too. The lower HP number is all in the tune. No physical difference in the engines.
