Commodore did this thing—and mind you, it’s a fairly common thing—they sent out a press release talking about their new product.
Tech sites like icrontic and [H] get these all the time.
What we don’t usually get are PR managers that make absurd claims. Kyle Bennett (Editor of [H]ardOCP) followed up on the press release and asked the PR rep what makes Commodore a “leader”. The PR guy’s response?
“Commodore systems have managed to beat every other high performance PC on the market without overclocking our chips. In some cases we have beat major gaming systems by 30% in 3DMark tests.”
30%? That’s pretty significant, considering Commodore has access to all the same off the shelf components that any computer enthusiast has.
I’ll let you read the rest on [H]ardOCP. Suffice to say, Kyle takes Commodore to task on their lofty claims.
