1. Higher clock will lower input delay in every cpu , amd or intel doesnt matter.
2. Even at same clock speed intel (up to 10th gen atleast, since 11th gen might be scuffed) will still be faster than amd due to not having time wasted communicating inter-ccx as well as from having less cycles wasted waiting for information to arrive due to lower ram latency. Not to mention its very unrealistic and borderline stupid to run an intel chip at 4.4 ghz when majority of 10th gen are capable of 5ghz (and +)
3. I dont think schizo is saying disabling smt/ht doesnt reduce input lag, but rather that games don't use max bandwidth so the loaded latency on max bandwidth isnt a realistic measure. The reduced input delay by disabling SMT isnt necessarily coming from lower loaded ram latency.
"Simply put, SMT doubles the number of registers, but there is still only one execution unit (what does the actual calculation). Since you have two sets of registers, the code will have to wait in the second register until the code from the first register finishes executing, which results in roughly 5-40% higher interrupt to DPC latency." -Calypto
