You would have multiple companies licensing high-end RISC-V cores. And competition will almost always translate into lower prices. It wouldn't surprise me that you could even get a "source code" license for the core and modify it to your needs. AFAIK this isn't possible with ARM (you can either roll your own from scratch or use a off-the-shelf ARM design but not modify it).

> You would have multiple companies licensing high-end RISC-V cores Perhaps. But why would they license their cores to their competitors instead of just making them themselves. Licensing does not seem like a great business mode in this industry. Has anyone based ARM been successful at it? And even ARM itself is not doing that great financially not even close to Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm etc.
