    I don't think you can configure any custom instructions after you get it back from the FAB.
    So you buy a core off the shelf from them and with simple instructions you can tweak it to be good at certain task before you FAB it.
    As buying the core and sending to FAB is probably $1million, so it needs to be bank-rolled with long term profit in mind.
