First of all there is no such thing as a Cornish X, it is a hold over from the original crosses decades ago. The so-called "cornish x" sold through hatcheries are birds produced from Cobb-Vantress, Hubbard, and other commercial breeding lines.
What do you consider marketable weight? I'd say a 6.5 lb bird in 48 days qualifies as a marketable bird.
The commercial farms don't raise the 9 lb behemoths that you and I regularly have in our "cornish x" groups.
