RISC-V cores were being used in GPUs alot, at least a few years back. It
was the first I'd heard of real silicon using the instruction set.
It's all over the place now...

The Lichee (which I've just confirmed is an alternate spelling of
lychee, the asian fruit) is a hand-held gaming console that runs Linux
(not the first), and is based on RISC-V (it IS the first).
I vaguely recall ages ago, in my architecture class, learning machine
language for the ancient MIPS processor (using the SPIM simulator),
which is very similar to RISC-V, and not entirely hating it. =8^)
Happy holidays, BLU!
