64bit RISC5 is cheap & has significant advantages around address space, computational efficiency, and suitability for high-performance applications while being more future-proof for complex systems.

It is cheap also, with the F133*, priced at approximately $1.00 to $1.50 per unit in bulk

If looking more for US stuff (fabbed in South Korea), PIC64GX1000 can be as little as $21 but much more capable.

Please note that RISC-V and RISC5 are different projects:

https://riscv.org

https://riskfive.com

Despite the name of the second site, the actual processor is called RISC5 (see the menu on the left) and is part of the Oberon project by Niklaus Wirth.

Though DVI/HDMI monitors are supposed to handle 640x480, over half of the ones I have tested don't display anything. Every single one of them worked just fine at 1280x768, however, so I am changing my projects to use that.
