BLAKE3 is faster than hardware accelerated SHA-2 because the tree mode used in BLAKE3 allows hashing parts of a single message in parallel (with SHA-2, parts of a single message have to be hashed one after another, and parallelism is only used in workloads where you process multiple messages at the same time). https://github.com/minio/sha256-simd https://github.com/minio/sha256-simd https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3 https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3
