Those ads are pretty technical..........I wonder how many kids knew what "signal to noise" ratio was =P.
I bet they based that comparison from the second model of Genesis, which had a redesigned sound circuit as compared to the first, which actually muddied up the sound output quite a bit. The original Genesis audio is pretty clear, while the SNES actually has a lot of buzz in it's audio output.

I still think the SNES CPU is pretty slow, look at the lagfest shooting games that came out for it (Gradius III, Super R-Type), while Genesis shooters (ThunderForce, Gunstar Heroes) hardly ever lag.

Although, the SNES did surpass the Genny in the end, around 1993/1994ish, it was clear that the SNES was superior.
