For example, if a game is running between 30 and 90 fps on an intel and 25-50 on an AMD, it seems to me that the AMD might be more smooth but also less powerful of a processor? Am I missing something?
It is more framerate stability overall that is in discussion/arguement/firefight/whatever you want to call it right now, not necessarily a set percentage or anything like that. The original post linking to the Anandtech article I believe mentioned higher minimum framerates in some of the games tested. That isn't a sign of an inferior CPU. Not sure what you are getting at.
