Why do corn chips (Fritos style) have ~50% more fat per same size serving than Tortilla Chips (Tostitos), given both are made of the same ingredients?

I have noticed that a serving of fritos has about 10g of fat per serving while tortilla chips are closer to 6-7g. Given that both have essentially same ingredients, why such a wide difference?

I think it is because tortilla chips are fried without oil and other ones are fried in oil. No idea if it is true but names suggest that i think? (tostitos – toasted, fritos – fried).
