Does AMD's Sempron or Intel's Celeron have AES-NI?

Intel and AMD x86 achitecture[edit]
Intel[4]
Intel Westmere based processors, specifically:
Intel Westmere-EP (Xeon 56xx) (a.k.a. Gulftown Xeon 5600-series DP server model) processors.
Intel Clarkdale processors (except Core i3, Pentium and Celeron).
Intel Arrandale processors (except Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, Core i5-4XXM).
Intel Sandy Bridge processors:
Desktop: all except Pentium, Celeron, Core i3,[5][6]
Mobile: all Core i7 and Core i5. Several vendors have shipped BIOS configurations with the extension disabled;[7] a BIOS update is required to enable them.[8]
Intel Ivy Bridge processors
All i5, i7, Xeon and i3-2115C[9] only.
Intel Haswell processors. (all except i3-4000m,[10] Pentium and Celeron)
Intel has a list of processors that support AES-NI on their website[11]
AMD
AMD Bulldozer-based processors.[12][dead link]
AMD Piledriver-based processors.
AMD Steamroller-based processors.
AMD Jaguar-based processors.
AMD Puma-based processors.

I read on Intel's site that the Celeron does not support the AES-NI but somewhere else on the same site I read that it does, I can't remember where but I am sure of it.
Can someone please verify if it does or doesn't and show me the source+ if anyone has a new quad Celeron can you please verify also?
Thank you

Intel Atom C2758, C2558, Celeron N3150, Pentium N3700 all support AES-NI. The Atom processors also support QuickAssist (both of which will help encryption tremendously).

As for AMD, not sure. I've read that the Sempron had it but other info says no.

Edit: AMD's site suggest no AES support: http://products.amd.com/en-us/searc.../Sempron™-3850-APU-with-Radeon™-R3-Series/120

Edit #2: Some confusion on AMD's own page...lol! See below (next post)! :biggrin:
