SUMMARY

Enabling Software Guard Extensions (SGX) on Intel motherboards does result in a measurable slowdown of computer operations. The extent of the performance impact varies significantly depending on the specific application being run. Users should consider the trade-off between enhanced security features provided by SGX and the potential decrease in performance when deciding whether to enable this feature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Intel SGX technology
  • Familiarity with computer performance metrics
  • Knowledge of application-specific performance characteristics
  • Basic concepts of hardware security features
