AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 5950X, 5900X, 5800X and 5600X Tested

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. For this title, we are testing the following resolutions:
- 600p Low, 1440p Low, 4K Low, 1080p Max
The benchmark runs for about 90 seconds. We do as many runs within 10 minutes per resolution/setting combination, and then take averages and percentiles.

no, but fake posts are.feka1ity - Tuesday, November 17, 2020 - link
sure, everything faster than new amede is fake for fanboizIketh - Monday, November 16, 2020 - link
was there a performance/watt metric anywhere in this article? how many memory controllers on each chip?peevee - Tuesday, November 17, 2020 - link
As MT vs ST tests clearly show, there is not enough power and/or memory bandwidth on AM4 for 16 cores anymore.Hoping for a 4-channel DDR5 mass-market platform next.
One 8-core chiplet, one graphics chiplet (similar to 5600 XT, and working together with an additional AMD graphics card), 4 channels of DDR5 to support that, preferably as SODIMM slots right on the CPU package for smallest latency and power consumption possible (and making a cheap MB possible)... I can dream, can I? It should have been this generation, I would have ordered it already.

Same or better performance than Intel for the same price, with PCIe 4.0 for uber fast drives?Where do I sign?
Bring it on.

How do you conclude that this product line is superior to Tiger Lake when there are no measurements that compare these two? All the Intel to AMD comparisons are the old Skylake core on 14 nm vs. the latest Zen 3 core on 7 nm. Am I missing something here?JSyrup - Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - link
Is there a reason why the 5800X outperforms both the 5900X and 5950X in some games? Could it have something to do with 1 CCX vs 2 CCXs?JSyrup - Wednesday, April 7, 2021 - link
*CCDsI got it now. For the best of both worlds, go for the 5950X. Then, if you play games, disable 1 CCD in BIOS or leave both CCDs enabled if you do productivity. This is how to maximise performance and prevent unexpected performance drops.

On RDR why do higher resolutions get higher FPS than 1080p?
