There are several options.
There's much more software around, so you see it a lot more.
Hardware is very few, even proprietary is very few.
power8, power9, risc-v, are CPUs
TAPR for radio
etc

Isnt RISC V open source?
Xavier Morales
you can't make open source hardware in your moms basement
Elijah Nguyen
You mean free as in beer or freedom?
If it's the former, it's because base materials cost money and nobody wants to buy materials to give away for free. Software only requires time.
If it's the latter, there is some free hardware but not much.

Hardware isn't cheap to make.

Nobody cares about free hardware because of
>The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
Not even Stallman has a lab for copying microprocessors.
Lucas Barnes
So is it even remotely feasible to see an open-source customizable CPU that would be on-par with intel or amd?

Not until 3D printing is cheap, precise, and ubiquitous. So 2099 at the soonest.
