12.5MBps is exactly 100Mbps. This number seems too round to ignore, any thoughts on why it won't exceed the speed of a "fast ethernet" network interface? It would help to see the benchmark's output from your system as well.

Following is the result I got from some typical arm64 platform:

go test crypto/cipher -bench GCM
goos: linux
goarch: arm64

BenchmarkAESGCMOpen8K-32 5000 278226 ns/op 29.44 MB/s
PASS
ok crypto/cipher 7.199s

Taking a second look at the results and seeing arm64 instead of amd64, I realize the reason has already been stated in prior discussions: no assembly implementations for the platform. It's probably safe to disregard my previous inquisition.
