Check /proc/cpuinfo for the sha_ni flag. If present, then you can test the SHA extensions.
SHA extensions made their debut in Goldmont. They are also available in Goldmont+. They were scheduled for one of the lakes but they did not make it in.
I have a Goldmont machine for testing SHA but it is a turd. It is a Celeron J3455 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYCDG4H).

Ah, okay. That Goldmont info matches my /proc/cpuinfo. No "sha_ni" listed :-(, just the aes-ni instruction set.
