Well then you don't understand what the term means. Microstuttering isn't exclusive to dual GPU setups. Microstuttering just means stuttering with a short duration. The prefix "micro" means small (in this case referring to a small interval of time). And framerate stuttering is just an increase in frametime. In other words a microstuttering in video games is a short increase in frametime. Which is what we're measuring here.
Lag and dropped frames have nothing to do with this. Dropped frames are frames that are not decoded from a video stream. Video games don't produce dropped frames since frames don't have to be decoded. "Lag" is a catch all term used to refer to any increase in latency. Video game lag comes in many different flavors (network, framerate, or stuttering) with many different sources (memory transfers, input, GPU, CPU, etc.).

Well you're in a different scenario.
As I said in my last sentence:

We're only talking about emulation and PC gaming right now, not general benchmarks.
