Hello, there is no video for this.  
The issue is explained in the following post :

> Hi @AntonVorozhtsov, I see two possible explanations for your issue: Indeed, we observed a little higher base load on some intel CPUs with Cubase 12, compared to C11. This impacts low latency use cases like yours. The issue was particularly present on older generations of i7 processors (8th generation and older) with a medium core count (~12 - 24). It affects some, not all systems and we were not able to find the root cause. Do you run such a system? There’s no other way than to increase you…
