Investigate cryptography behaviour on Intel

Generally Intel CPUs have a higher Integer throughput. While throwing 24 cores at it solves the problem, a singlethreaded integer benchmark should be faster on a recent Intel machine than the 3900x.

However, in tests an Intel i7-8650U (granted not the flagship) it seems like, while it's faster in integer arithmetic, it's also considerably slower in cryptographic stuff (especially encryption and csprng).

Would be cool to investigate why that is, first thought is Cache, which is considerably smaller on the Intel side.
