many people have said it is smoother and the only people i have seen turn it down are people who prefer intel. and the people that are saying it is smoother are mostly people that are neutral and have had experiences with both platforms. i can't say for myself if it is smoother or not but if you look at the design it makes sense. there is no way you can show this on paper that it is smoother its only something you can learn by word of mouth. and if it is smoother then imo its better for gaming. many people refuse to believe this but hey most of those people have never even ran amd before.
