I am trying to figure out if i can afford to make it happen or not lol. Would the labour coat of getting to something good with the support infra be a fewmillion or tens of millions?

Are you trying to get to a working simulator, a working core in HDL/FPGA, a thoroughly debugged and validated core in HDL, a fast core in HDL, a validated fast core in HDL, or functioning silicon in hand?

I'd guess low six figures for the beginning of that list and mid eight figures for the end. Real silicon also needs all the uncore stuff, which is easy if you don't care how it performs and very very hard if you do.
