There was a processor family called NOVIX, that was a hardware implementation of Forth - using a gate-array, I think. Nowadays I suppose you could put 128 Forth processors on a chip 1/10th the size of a modern microcontroller. I don't know why people don't build Forth hardware; it should be cheap, efficient, and fast.
