Thank you for pointlessly regurgitating much of his post?
The fact that Intel put an encryption feature in their chip, which does indeed make that algorithm faster, would tend to indicate they wanted faster encryption wouldn't it? That some other algorithm could be faster still isn't really contradicting that.
