I know what you mean and you're basically right, but more often lately they just seemed to repeat MS's PR because even they simply did't know it better. They were praising the "new enhanced CPU" on high levels because that's the info MS was giving them. They let themselves being used by the MS marketing machinery.

Now that reality kicks in and, as can be seen with many games lately, the "enhanced CPU" is nothing more than a slight overclock which even leads to more and more games lately performing worse on the X1X than on the Pro, because this CPU has to deal with higher amounts of data.

 

That's what a little money can do sometimes, you get what I mean.

I do not know any article from DF that praised the CPU.  If anything they have always stated its slightly speedy variant of the same chip.  In multiple articles from DF they have also stated that the CPU is usually the bottleneck in some games being able to push better performance when CPU limited.

Here's the whole hype article and according video. I'm sure you have seen it already.
