I build allot of home systems for customers. So think of it this way. Two systems. They have the same hard drive, the same RAM, one is using Intel CPU, chipset and GPU the other using AMD CPU chipset and GPU, both using windows 7 FRESHLY installed with the same updates and other programs installed. It has been my experience that in these situations the Intel system responds faster and smoother in general in the OS and in say IE or Chrome responsiveness. (of course the speed at which the page is loaded is almost 100% dependent on the ISP coverage)
Wasn't AMD the "king of smootheness"? Now Intel is faster and smoother? AMD is doomed...
Anyway, numbers/benches or it didn't happen...

James Hunt: "Well, that should put them out then."
