n=1 experiences aren't useful. Measurements are needed to confirm this. Those measurements are called benchmarks. Last time I checked, they showed that Intel's CPUs are fastest ("smoothest").
I'm pretty sure we've established that fastest has nothing to do with smoothness. Benchmarks are useless as they can be cheated provided enough money is thrown at them. See Futuremark with Physx. See BAPCO. See Cinebench. See ICC. See Agnor Fog. etc. etc. Personal experiences are all that count, and from first hand accounts of reviewers on Anandtech, for 1, AMD systems are smoother. Blind tests also showed this to be the case. My personal experience and those of people I have asked after using both systems, along with others in just this thread alone, also agree that AMD systems are more responsive. First hand account is the only true accurate test. There's really no way to deny that. The end users experience is the only criteria that matters.
