Which marketing documentation (not person) says that ?

It isn't actually false but it has a caveat that the application must be 
using the OpenSSL ENGINE API, which Apache mod_ssl does and it must use 
the EVP_ interfaces in OpenSSL's libcrypto (not the lower level direct 
software algorithm ones).

Remember marketing info his very high level, the devil as aways is in 
the code.
