QAT on Intel E5-2660 v414c/2.0GHz processor

[thomad22]

Would like to know whether Intel E5-2660 v414c/2.0GHz processor supports QAT? If so, any documents available which confirms the same.

Hi thomad22,

The Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2660 v4 does not natively support Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT). Intel QAT is a technology designed to accelerate cryptographic and compression workloads, and it is typically found in specific Intel chipsets and certain Intel processors, particularly those in the Intel® Xeon® D and Intel® Atom® C series, as well as some Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.

Hi Ronny, 

Does that mean that with additional drivers, we might be able to enable QAT with  Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2660 v4?
