The story of a non-existent AMD CPU being featured in articles and even registered as a product

A foreign computer company and its friends have a benchmark program.

I was experimenting with how to check the CPU ID.

The benchmark was carried out successfully

It is also officially registered on the passmark webpage.

A few days later, how much of an impact did what he did have?

I was curious, so I searched 9700X3D on Google.

Articles about the 9700X3D CPU have been posted on many popular tech websites.

Of course, it was also posted on a famous computer-related website in Korea.
