I’m pretty sure it is a different thing. I’ve looked into specs for C910 and E902 and couldn’t find any mention about encryption which is a very new thing on Risc-V. A router would have very lackluster VPN performance if it has to rely on raw CPU. https://riscv.org/blog/2021/09/risc-v-cryptography-extensions-task-group-announces-public-review-of-the-scalar-cryptography-extensions/ https://riscv.org/blog/2021/09/risc-v-cryptography-extension... BTW can the people who downvote me at least give me a reason why am I wrong? Would gladly hear it.

It would probably have just fine encryption performance for majority of uses. Hell, wireguard isn't even using AES in the first place

I see the ROMA laptop[1] will be using the same TH1520 processor, and there it says the laptop will have an ARM SC300[2] TEE. It could be a separate chip ala this[3], but given the block diagram on the Sipeed page is for the TH1520 SoC, surely it must be on-chip. Will be interesting to see.
