> verification of a very high-powered RISC-V core that is going to be manufactured in high-volume is probably much more expensive and time-consuming than the case for an ARM design.

Why do you say this?




Presumably, when you have a relationship with ARM, you have access to things that make it somewhat less painful:

- People who have been working with spec and technology for decades

- People who have implemented ARM machines in fancy modern CMOS processes

- Stable and well-defined specifications

- Well-understood models, tools, strategies, wisdom

I'm not sure how much of this exists for you in the RISC-V space: you're probably spending time and money building these things for yourself.


There is a market for RISC-V design verification.

And there is already some companies specializing on supplying this market. They do consistently present at RISC-V Summit.
