    AES-NI has been standard for over a decade. There shouldn’t be a significant hit to processing speed.

      and i work with dozens of disparate windows systems on multiple hardware platforms on the regular, the speed degradation with bitlocker encryption still exists, and is noticeable

        You’ve benchmarked this? Using what encryption algorithm, what processors, what benchmark?

          More to the point, I think, is are there even any systems that will run Windows 11 that don’t have AES-NI?

          Performance without it is kinda irrelevant because there’s no situation where you’d have Windows 11 and bitlocker and NOT AES-NI.
