This is a nice bit of marketing but... is it real? There's no actual information on the page, no links to any other pages/sites, nowhere to buy it, and no mention of "coming soon" or any sort of expected release date.

It does sound like a very well-executed joke.

Why? The 3000 series supports 4K 240hz with DSC.
They mention it's patented... Assuming they don't just mean a generic air fryer patent or something, I would think that the patent process is too annoying for a straight-up joke.

EDIT: And that said, 3min on Google Patents hasn't found the relevant patent.

I think KFC invented/patented the combi-oven, they could be referring to that. (A humidity/temperature controlled oven that can be used like sous-vide.)

Practically I kinda doubt you'd want frying temperature anywhere near a computer, but you should be able to get warm enough to safely hold already cooked chicken.

Edit: I think this is the KFC patent for the combi-oven: https://patents.google.com/patent/US5077065A/en
