If “extra hardware” refers to AES or CBC type encryption, it is a per core thing. The crypto hardware is extra instructions supported by the CPU (core). With hyper threading, I would have no idea if two threads involving these instructions on the same core would impact performance. This interests me…. I’ll do some poking at AMD & Intel and get back to the list!
