Aren't we all waiting for that ONE Intel/AMD level competitive RISC-V processor. With full PCIe Lanes, Memory Controllers, integrated Graphics and so on....

We are, RISC-V is a really cool architecture, can be complex enough to run full desktop Linux distributions, simple enough for a single person to make a RISC-V processor
Milk-V pioneer, and Intel horse creek are kinda like that, I think.
I'm personally waiting for the second wave of those types of releases, with hopefully rvv 1.0.
RISC-V is already gaining steam in embedded systems. Apple, for one, is replacing some embedded ARM cores in their products with RISC-V cores.
As others have pointed out, we've got SBCs aplenty, and the first laptop systems are coming out later this year.
I get that as humans using computers we're eager for a RISC-V system that matches performance of other modern processors, but it's naïve to think that it isn't a viable platform until it competes with an Ryzen 7.
