AES-256 means AES with 128-bit block and 256-bit key, so AES-256
encrypts the same amount of data as AES-128.

As of hardware implementation, one can use several engines in
parallel, although even a single one can be faster than needed,
for example, with 280 MHz there are 2e7 blocks per second, that is
320 Mbyte per second.
