The AES-NI instructions are also available in legacy mode so the 32-bit
architecture may profit from those, too.
To illustrate the performance gain here's a short summary of a dm-crypt
speed test on a Core i7 M620 running at 2.67GHz comparing both assembler
implementations:
x86: i568 aes-ni delta
ECB, 256 bit: 93.8 MB/s 123.3 MB/s +31.4%
CBC, 256 bit: 84.8 MB/s 262.3 MB/s +209.3%
LRW, 256 bit: 108.6 MB/s 222.1 MB/s +104.5%
XTS, 256 bit: 105.0 MB/s 205.5 MB/s +95.7%
Additionally, due to some minor optimizations, the 64-bit version also
got a minor performance gain as seen below:
x86-64: old impl. new impl. delta
ECB, 256 bit: 121.1 MB/s 123.0 MB/s +1.5%
CBC, 256 bit: 285.3 MB/s 290.8 MB/s +1.9%
LRW, 256 bit: 263.7 MB/s 265.3 MB/s +0.6%
XTS, 256 bit: 251.1 MB/s 255.3 MB/s +1.7%
