LOL. Honestly I do not remember whether the good minimum frame rate was an AMD to Intel thing or AMD to Nvidia. Which was why I removed it in my post

In one of those comparisons AMD consistently had better minimum frame rates.

There is also another consideration. Things like microstutter. Back on socket 775, dual cores were unacceptable gamers. I went from a quad to dual , and the microstutter was awful. After 2-3 weeks though, I got so used to it I could not see it anymore.

AMD is a very smooth system, it is popular not just because of price. It is generally quicker than an Intel while not necessairly faster.

AMD storage controllers is another thing entirely. they must outsource it to Jmicron considering how bad it is generally. (granted the difference is generally pretty small to bottom and top of storage controllers).
