The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Clear – The Open Source FPGA ASIC
Looks like this has been put together by Efabless themselves. I dont think the rtl would be too different from OpenFPGA(https://github.com/lnis-uofu/OpenFPGA) married to the caravel f/w.

My4TH – A minimalistic Forth computer with discrete CPU
In terms of transistors I think MCPU by Tim Boscke can be hard to beat - https://github.com/cpldcpu/MCPU , however how many transistors this 8 bit CPU has is not clear.
