SGX memory limit on i-series

Hello Intel!

I'm developing a program to run in a trusted execution environment on i-series CPUs, and I'm wondering what the maximum enclave size for SGX is? There doesn't appear to be any public information on the memory capacity for enclaves on i-series CPUs before Icelake, which was 128MB.

I'd LOVE to know what the maximum capacities are for each of the 10-14th generation, i-series CPUs, to know which we can support!

Thanks!

Hi DebbieMilner,

 

Thank you for your patience.

 

For your information, SGX is only supported until 10th Gen CPU. You can check if SGX is enabled on your system with this Test SGX command. Meanwhile, you may refer to this article to determine the EPC size.

Thanks for this Aznie,

To be clear: 10th gen has 128mb memory and SGX does not work on 11-14th generation i series cpus?

Hi DebbieMilner,

 

Yes, you are right. You may find a list of Intel processors supporting the Intel® SGX following the steps below:

 

For a complete list of Intel® processors that support Intel® SGX, visit Intel® Processors Supporting Intel® SGX

Click the processor and scroll down to the Security & Reliability section and look for Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX).

Find out if a specific processor supports Intel® SGX:

  1. Go to product specifications (ARK).
  2. Enter the processor number in the search specifications box in the top-right corner.
  3. On the product specification page of the processor, click Security & Reliability and look for Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX)

 

In addition, you may read this Intel SGX information.
