Early 2011 MacBook Pros (with 2720QM Intel CPU or higher) support AES-NI. Mac OS X Lion will be released in August 2011 with FileVault2 but no information have been made available as to whether FileVault2 will use AES-NI for encryption/decryption.
Can anyone with an Apple Developer account with Lion Preview access installed on an Early 2011 MacBook supporting AES-NI confirm if FireVault2 uses AES-NI?
