How are the various riscv cpu IP vendors generally doing financially?

Is this the very beginning of a market consolidation?

There are a lot of different CPU IP vendors working on RISC-V. China's a big source of it, and I shouldn't have to explain why.

Reducing reliance on foreign IP. RISC-V is open source/public domain so no sanctions or export control can be leveraged against the IP.
