Westmere generation processors , produced on 32 nm technology, will bring only insignificant architectural changes in comparison with Nehalem - they will obtain support to seven new instructions, six of them will be connected with the AES coding algorithms.
As explained Intel representatives , the appearance of support to these instructions will allow to accelerate data coding on hard disks. Now similar functions are usually realized at the HDD level, and with the 32 nm clarkdale and Arrandale processors , the data coding on HDD and SSD can be accelerated by the central processor.
Data coding ensure protection from access to the important information by third persons. For example, it will be impossible to read data from stolen notebook without password introduction . We hope, that these update will find a worthy practical use. Related Products :
