AMD "Ryzen is Smoother" Misconception Benchmark & Explanation (Ryzen vs. Intel for Gaming)

There's a common belief that "Ryzen is smoother" in online forums, but most people are mistaking overall upgrades as a pure Ryzen change, and data does not support this blanket statement.

The goal of this video is to investigate claims that AMD Ryzen is universally "smoother," and we're primarily going to do that by looking at dollar-for-dollar and core-for-core comparisons. We're looking at the AMD R3 3300X vs. Intel i3-10100 (where AMD does, in fact, lead in several ways), the Intel i5-10600K vs. AMD R7 3700X / R9 3900X, the AMD R7 2700 vs. Intel i7-8700K, and so forth. 7700K numbers are also present in some AVG FPS charts with lows available. We're trying to keep expectations in-line with reality for these processors. We'd recommend nearly any processor in this list for its targeted use cases (except, maybe, the 10100 with dGPU), so we're not saying any of these are "bad." Instead, we're saying that it is often incorrect to make the blanket statement that "Ryzen is smoother," because it isn't true in most cases, and we also want to define what people mean when they say "smoother," since its meaning is a bit nebulous in a technical sense.
