This question comes up a lot and I still have no idea what anyone is asking. It seems like it's largely a philosophical question, like am I the same person I was ten years ago even though only 1% of the molecules are the same. Some might consider the resulting certificate to be the original certificate with a later expiry date. Some might consider it to be a brand new certificate that just happens to share some common values with the previous certificate. What possible difference does it make whether you consider the resulting certificate a "new certificate" or "the original certificate with a later expiration date"? Or are you asking something else entirely? And if so, what?
