@alcinnz @simo5 and @david_chisnall is also seeing the right problem there: the error correcting code decoders are usually pretty energy-hungry per payload bit, even as they are all specific silicon these days, because nobody can do 30 iterations of a giant graph message passing algorithm on frames far beyond 15000 bits in length in software.
I don't know how these decoders compare to an AES accelerator in power per bit, but my guess is that the fact alone that they are working1/2
