No. Mentioning it is only meant to distract.

Is there a semi competitive Risc-V core implemented anywhere?

It all seem hypothetical to me now, fast cores would fuse the instructions together so instruction count alone isn't adequate for the original evaluation of the ISA. Now I'm not sure that there are any that really do that..

BOOM cores fuse ops already, so the cores don't have to be all that fast to start to see wins from it.

SiFive have a new thing which is roughly as fast as a low-power CPU from Intel or Apple (e.g. IceStorm).

Obviously not really competitive, but I think they are still mostly making hardware so there is hardware at-all stage.
