At least looking to their product sites, Microchip and Green Hills seem to have quite good tooling, then again I don't have embedded experience on modern systems, beyond mobile devices.

Do Microchip even produces multi-core MCU's? Haven't seen one, though I worked mostly with Cortex-A series so might miss something.

As I said, I don't have much experience in real embedded domain outside mobile devices (iOS, Android, UWP), but aren't Cortex-A5 supposed to handle up to 4 cores?

Yes, so it looks like Microchip produces multi-core MCUs after all, though as I've mentioned, I haven't encountered them and can't comment about quality of their tools.
