For customers like Ericsson it wouldn’t surprise me if they request special instructions and special hard function blocks. In telecom there are certain operations that’s specified by the standard (and some which aren’t but used as a de facto standard) which are performed so often that you want to do them in hardware instead of in software. Or the opposite, Ericsson just wants to integrate NVIDIAs IP into Ericsson’s own ASICs instead of using their own cores and other third party cores.
