Cryptographic Performance on the
nd
2 Generation Intel® Core™ processor family

Conclusion

This paper describes the performance increase that can be achieved on the
nd
2 Generation Intel® Core™ processor family over the Intel®
microarchitecture code named Westmere, on cryptographic applications. We
show the results on a small representative sample set of algorithms. The net
result is an improvement in cryptographic performance up to ~1.8X
previous Intel processors.

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance
only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are
measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions.
Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other
information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated
purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
