2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor family
Executive Summ ar y
The latest 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor family brings huge
performance increases to cryptographic applications.
Cryptographic algorithms consist of public and private key operations,
combined with secure hashing. We examine the performance of a small
representative set of algorithms on the new processors, and compare
with the performance of the Intel® microarchitecture code named
Westmere.
This paper describes the performance increase that can be achieved
Cryptographic Performance on the
on the 2nd 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 optimized for performance on each processor. The
net result is an improvement in cryptographic performance up to
1
~1.8X over the previous Intel pr oces sor s

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance
only on Intel microprocessor s . Pe rformance tests, suc h a s S YS m ark and MobileMark, are
measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions.
Any change to any of those factors may ca us e the r e s ults to vary. You should c o ns ult other
information and performance tests to as s i s t y ou in fully evaluating your contemplated
