Around 30 Mission Computers onboard Typhoon did change from T1 to T2. PowerPC processors were used necessitating the software to be ported to a new RTOS compatible with the new hardware. There have been several upgrades ever since, starting with the CRRIP computers for later T2 Blocks, the CORP computers on T3 and T2 retrofits and now the "Stage" computers for T4 and some new computers in between, incl. multicore processors as stated in the article. LTE indeed aims to transforms the avionics architecture consolidating functions from multiple mission computers into new universal mission computers. The actual scope of the consolidation remains to be seen though. There were different options on the table, but the nations are/were divided for various reasons. At the end there will likely be a compromise solution with growth provisions that might be exploited oon a national basis, or within a smaller framework (two partners only and maybe some export customers).
