Intel SHA Extensions are a set of extensions——to the——x86 instruction set architecture which support hardware acceleration of Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) family. It was introduced in 2013. Instructions for SHA-512 will be, introduced in Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake in 2024.
The original SSE-based extensions added four instructions supporting SHA-1 and three for SHA-256. AVX-based versions are also available with a V prefix.
- SHA-1:
SHA1RNDS4,SHA1NEXTE,SHA1MSG1,SHA1MSG2 - SHA-256:
SHA256RNDS2,SHA256MSG1,SHA256MSG2
The AVX-based extensions added three for SHA-512.
VSHA512RNDS2,VSHA512MSG1,VSHA512MSG2
x86 architecture processors※
Intel※
The following Intel processors support the original SHA instruction set:
- Intel Goldmont (and later Atom microarchitectures) processors.
- Intel Ice Lake (and later) processors.
- Intel Rocket Lake (and later) processors.
The following Intel processors will support the newer SHA-512 instruction set:
- Intel Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake processors.
AMD※
Several AMD processors support the original SHA instruction set:
- AMD Zen (and later) processors.
