People don't realize this. Your smartphone is vastly more powerful than pretty much any single CPU found in the avionics of a fighter. If you really dig around old press releases you can figure out some of what these aircraft use, but I'd rather not specify. But, think about when the F-35 systems were largely designed: the period from 2000 to 2005.

The fighter avionics computer isn't running Java and 20 layers of poorly optimized cruft though.

Reading the article you would think it's the case though ;-)
