Xe-LP GPU Performance: Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Deus Ex is a franchise with a wide level of popularity. Despite the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (DEMD) version being released in 2016, it has often been heralded as a game that taxes the CPU. It uses the Dawn Engine to create a very complex first-person action game with science-fiction based weapons and interfaces. The game combines first-person, stealth, and role-playing elements, with the game set in Prague, dealing with themes of transhumanism, conspiracy theories, and a cyberpunk future. The game allows the player to select their own path (stealth, gun-toting maniac) and offers multiple solutions to its puzzles.
DEMD has an in-game benchmark, an on-rails look around an environment showcasing some of the game’s most stunning effects, such as lighting, texturing, and others. Even in 2020, it’s still an impressive graphical showcase when everything is jumped up to the max.
At the minimum settings, all of the integrated graphics are easily playable, with AMD winning at 15 W but the 28 W Tiger Lake goes a bit above that, within reaching distance of the desktop APU. At a more regular 1080p Maximum, the 20 FPS is perhaps a bit too slow for regular gameplay.

What really concerns me is this Intel Tiger is built on a 10mm process that looks like it is as good or better than the TSMC 7nm process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process. They do not talk about the +++ superfin variants for node density. We need Super Navi to fight against this. We know for laptops or gaming, nobody can touch big navi. Nvidia cannot. It will be much faster I think than 3090 or even 4090 by everything I see. Nvidia might be out of their league finally and put into their place. I would not be surprised to see Big Navi designs at 150w with 10x the speed.Rtx dude - Monday, September 28, 2020 - link
3090 is twice the size of 3080. So, it will ebd big NAVI in performance and bebchmarksShowtime - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
Sorry, but with your name alone, we can't take anything you say seriously.MrVibrato - Saturday, September 19, 2020 - link
Oh, but there are quite a few who couldn't resist the bait. Which, and this is one of my guilty pleasures, makes for entertaining reading...hecksagon - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
He's referencing the performance improvement we will see in AMD's integrated graphics once the architectural improvements from Big Navi trickle down.dotjaz - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
In the meantime, Intel wins for the next 8 months or so. We don't even know if Van Gogh can beat TGL yet.Spunjji - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
That's a charitable interpretation, but actually this account is just a sockpuppet for an Intel shill who got tired of waiting for AMD fanboys to show up and so made one of their own. Everything they post is nonsensical junk.AMDSuperFan - Monday, September 21, 2020 - link
Even as a superfan it seems obvious that our amd cannot fight against this new technology. How is a usurper faster than us on video for gaming? As the owner of ATI, we are a video gaming company. Nvidia with their Voodoo 2 technology has nothing on ATI. My 7900 card is still fast for many games even today - but the same cannot be said for Voodoo 2 cards. But we have big things on the future and we should get back our championship in 2022.PixyMisa - Thursday, September 17, 2020 - link

Big Navi is a multi-hundred-watt dGPU. This is a laptop processor. They don't compete with each other at all.
