The Chinese graphics card manufacturer posted on social media to say: "Recently, there have been rumors circulating on media platforms, making false reports about 'Colorful launch Iris Xe Desktop Graphics Card to OEMs'. Colorful would like to clarify that these rumors are not true, and the information and content derived therefrom are unfounded".
