Higher torque?
The claim that the Torx head design allows higher torque generation than a comparable socket head capscrew has not been demonstrated to be true. The statement on this in the article is merely parroting the patent application that was filed.
It should be noted that the Torx design creates multiple stress risers in the head that may cause fatigue failure in vibration applications.
