I'm sure they do. They studded tires were fancy-pants Nokian Hakkapeliittas thought (while the studless were a much cheaper brand) so one would assume the quality leaned towards the studs. But obviously it was not a lab-test worthy comparison or anything, just an anecdotal one on a Volvo.
On more extreme days, I'm sure the studs perform better... but considering we don't seem to get that much snow now till late Dec/January, and spring time is always full of slush, I'm not sure there are that many days in the "winter tire season" where I personally would prefer them over studless.
