Yup, I'm sure. You can even see the difference with naked eye. The design got shortened and the fuselage got wider and thicker.
The changes with the thrust you mentioned happened around 2017-18 when they were still planning to use an engine based on EJ-200 so it's old news.
The national turbofan is most probably going to have ~10% more thrust than F110-GE-129 so around 33.000 lbf each.

@sequ Don't you remember when the mock-up got first revealed in Farnborough 2018, everyone who saw the mock-up commented by basically saying it's freaking huge?

Isn't it safer to look at F110 for now?
National turbofan appears to be quite far in the future.
That's what is happening bro, this Turkish military news thread is basically all a discussion about the F110 and the TF-X, you should go back to the page 1 and start reading from there.
The prototypes (7+ airframes) and the initial blocks are going to use the F110 and the national turbofan will be available later on. So around 2033-35 TF-X is going to switch to the national engine.
Bro TAI keeps using older mock-ups of not just the TF-X but also other projects even though they got outdated. Like, the mock-up of the T-929 heavy attack helicopter got revealed at IDEF 2019 I think but the current design is so much different now.
Temel Kotil visited Malaysia again. He really wants to sell the Hurjet to Malaysia. I admire this eagerness and ambition:

Do we have any news about the national turbofan project? Any image would be wonderful!
The weirdest fighter competition in a while.
I personally doubt that it's weird enough for a paper plane from a green producer to win.
On the other hand, other remaining competitors are just as crippled.
Apparently Malaysia wanted to pay in palm oil. That dissuaded Pakistan from the tender.
