It's going to vary depending on the configuration of the aircraft, ie the Navy version won't be as fast as the Air Force version because it's heavier and the Marine version will be the slowest because of the dedicated lift fan that the other two varients don't use. All versions are supersonic at altitude. The actual numbers probably won't be available to the general public until the JSF goes into active service.
