The T-Head C910: no. It is considered a bit of an old core by now. It is open source so it has been adopted a lot.
The RISC-V standard has extensions for both scalar and vector cryptography instructions but yet only a few cores out there support one or the other. Look out for CPUs based on the SiFive P670 which should have the latter.
When Android smartphones with RISC-V show up, they will also have vector cryptography.
> T-Head C910: no. It is considered a bit of an old core by now
Announced in July 2019, it is one of the most recent RISC-V cores you can buy. Hardware takes time, usually 3-4 years to go from announcement of a core to an SBC you can buy.
The C910 is the only RISC-V core you can buy in an SoC with 64 of them (Milk-V Pioneer)
The only newer core you can buy is the C908, available only in the K230 SoC on the CanMV-K230 board. It had some advantages (it's the only board rn with Vector 1.0), but it also has the HUGE disadvantages of being single core and only 0.5 GB RAM, vs quad core and 16 GB RAM on this cloud offering.

This is not available. The first boards are expected late this year.
It will be a huge advance, certainly, with twice the speed per core, and the first SoC SG2380 with it having 16 cores.
I have an old atom-based kimsufi by ovh, cryptography will eat almost a full core when doing file transfer over ssh or any kind of https…
No cryptographic hardware acceleration could really be the Achilles’ tendon for this platform.
