CPU AES

 

This integer benchmark measures CPU performance using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) data encryption.  In cryptography AES is a symmetric-key encryption standard. AES is used in several compression tools today, like 7z, RAR, WinZip, and also in disk encryption solutions like BitLocker, FileVault (Mac OS X), TrueCrypt.

 

CPU AES test uses the appropriate x86, MMX and SSE4.1 instructions, and it's hardware accelerated on VIA PadLock Security Engine capable VIA C3, VIA C7, VIA Nano, and VIA QuadCore processors; and on Intel AES-NI instruction set extension capable processors.  The test is HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware.

 

[*NEW*] Since AIDA64 v3.00, the AES benchmark supports AMD Kabini and Intel Haswell processors.
