If it's a Ryzen Pro, it has dedicated encryption/decryption hardware which might be being used. The old Via mini-itx systems had this, which allowed them to speed up AES operation massively, to the point that it was basically free to run an encrypted FS (and in their cases, it definitely had a CPU cost, around 10-20% of their single core IIRC, but that was a decade ago, and I'm not sure I could find the blog entry that person did now).
- etherael 7y agoBrief search on Ryzen pro seems to imply it's some kind of mobile integrated graphics / cpu solution? I don't think the Ryzen 7 2700 is one of those as it's just a plain old am4 desktop board CPU of the ryzen2+ generation, that said, it does have AES hardware encryption support in the instruction set according to https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_7/2700#Features https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_7/2700#Features so that may well be what's going on with the seeming complete lack of overhead there.
