It's impossible to say.  This sort of marketing statement is impossible to refute, because there are no details.  Who knows whether they compared against LLVM fairly with it tuning for the right architecture, had frame pointers set the same way, etc...

ps, it's hard to take them seriously when they make factually incorrect statements like LLVM 3.0 being the latest, and give no way to validate their claims.
