Hello! To be honest I wonder why you pay so much attention to a processor from VIA. As far as I remember their processors are cheap and found in a few notebooks only. Documentation from VIA marked that their C7 padlock provides hardware aes support faster than current Intel processors. I still suppose my AMD64 and loop-aes remain the best choice, don´t they?
