Without AES-NI other still quite fast instructions are used from SSE, SSE2, etc. So it is a boost but not the be-all end-all boost. In most cases the Core i7 will clobber most any storage device bar the very most costly SSDs. It's an extremely powerful CPU. If this isn't screaming fast enough, use GCM instead of CBC, and enjoy the multicore awesome thereof. ;) As fast at it is, 10 GBE will still do 1280 MiB / sec. But it should fill up the 8 Gbps FC with no issues.
