Smoother than what? More precise that what? Better than what? And again, all these are properties of firmware, open to any board.
It was implied : "than 8-bit boards running the current 8-bit firmwares".
In this case, all of these claims are wrong.

I absolutely do not see how those are open to any board.
I'm very sorry for your shortsightedness. CPUs are digital units and all of the produce the exact same results, no matter how many bits in parallel they process. They just vary in speed. Just like 32-bit desktop CPUs produce the exactly same result as 64-bit counterparts, just a bit slower.

I can't help but feel you are being dishonest in some way.
Each time your argumentations are exhausted you start attacking me personally and accuse me to lie. Thank you for that, it just confirms my logical descriptions are right.

@Traumflug: You should really try the 32 bits
Guess what: I did already. And it works exactly the same way as on an 8-bit counterpart. Zero surprise, because both are digital computers and they calculate exactly what they're told to.
It's all a matter of a proper firmware. If Marlin and Repetier declare shaky movements and step losses as state of the art and people cheer on that, I can't help. This is a solvable problem. Not solvable by faster CPUs, but solvable with more carefully written firmwares. A fast CPU just makes it a bit simpler to do so.
Perhaps some of you remember earlier high-end CNC machinery. Many of them had a 3 MHz 8-bit CPU and they worked just fine.
OK, I'm back on hacking a properly working firmware, which works smoother, more precise and better by @arthurwolf's definition. On 8-bit, on 32-bit and on 64-bit hardware.
