Is cpu power unused when red rocket is in the system?

Hi!

When there is a red rocket in the system, the cpu power is also used to decode redraw or not?

Bye!

there is no one that can try?

so, the question is:
a quad core mac pro perform as the 12-core mac pro?
both with red rocket installed.

The CPU is used, but not for the debayering. There is further tasks. Why?

because if I plan to buy a new Mac Pro and the CPU power isn't needed for debayering, I'll buy the 4-core + a red rocket... that is a bit more than the 12-core mac pro, but I can use the red rocket on a thunderbolt chassis with a Macbook if I want...

Sounds like a good plan!
