there are many things besides fps that make a game smooth. everyone here is familiar with tearing right? where you can even have TOO many fps and the game will not be smooth. just like gosh said its more because of the features amd has. no they may not have higher clocks and be running slower but they get it coming out at a steady pace and make it smooth. think of it as a fast reckless driver compared to someone just driving along. reckless driver will most likely be braking and accelerating over and over and changing lanes while the normal driver will be just going along. the jump from high fps to lower fps will make the games not as smooth. even if its a jump from 50-70 where fps is still high. so even tho intel pumps out more frames amd has them coming out at the same rate the entire time which is all a cpu should be doing anyway
