In 64bit, RISC-V does easily beat ARM and everything else.
In 32bit, it is about as good as m68k and x86, which are quite dense. A good result. Just not as small as ARM thumb/thumb2.
However, RISC-V is not done yet; it will see further improvements, coming from B extension (already ratified, significant for size, and yet wasn't in the test) and from the ongoing Zc size-reduction work[0], which does already achieve a sizable reduction[1].
