The New Horizons probe sent out to Pluto had the same CPU as the PlayStation One. Not a CPU of similar performance or using that as a benchmark for comparison, actually the same CPU model used in the PS1. When it launched the PS2 was already out but they like to finalise the hardware years in advance and run extensive tests rather than using cutting edge circuitry.
