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.

All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

A great dane weighs twice as much as a bulldog so...Xyler94 - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Even if Intel could... I highly doubt they'd be able to legally speaking, since that would literally be burning out competition in terms of CPU, and even Silicon productions...Morawka - Friday, November 6, 2020 - link
Intel would be better served luring TSMC's process engineers over. Most of the good ones have already been scooped up by China though.bmacsys - Monday, November 9, 2020 - link
Really dude. I suppose you know this firsthand?lmcd - Monday, November 9, 2020 - link
China's mainland fab efforts would not be as far as they are otherwise.Qasar - Monday, November 9, 2020 - link
and you have proof of this ? or is it just your opinion ?ze_banned_because_at - Tuesday, November 10, 2020 - link
Not that hard to google for "tsmc engineers poached by china".RogerAndOut - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Well before any bid premium, TSMC has a market value of over $400B and so is far larger than Intel's total worth of around $240B. It would be somewhat cheaper for Intel to just buy up all of the TSMC production capacity that it can for a few years. This would allow Intel to limit the production of other players, while also giving them a chance to produce some chips that are worth buying.Thanny - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
TMSC would never allow that while Intel was a competitor. Buy up all their capacity, getting rid of their customers? Then what happens when Intel stops buying their capacity? Unless Intel spun off its fabs (which is extremely unlikely), TSMC will treat them as a competitor. Intel can make some things at TSMC, but not to the extent that it erodes TSMC's customer base.Spunjji - Sunday, November 8, 2020 - link
Exactly this. Amazing how fee pro-Intel commenters can do big picture thinking.
