It’s extremely hard to like Aiden, while any concept of him being heroic is destroyed by his reprehensible behaviour between the game’s 20-odd hours of storyline missions....

It’s also the main reason you’re able to get back into these tasks with almost no interruption....

After consulting with Microsoft, AMD has recognised two issues. The first is where L3 cache can increase, potentially up to 3x its normal level. That might not mean anything to you, but it can lead to performance drop between 3-5%. This only applies to some apps, although the effect while gaming is more profound.

The other key issue concerns AMD’s “preferred core” technology, which can move threads onto the fastest core of the CPU....
