The Cloud Core Router range appears to. Most of the RouterBoard products as well as the CRS line are on MIPS chips though.

That said I don't think RouterOS is even using a v4 kernel. They're not on a bleeding-edge release so as and when they get to updating the linux kernel they ship with, they'll have to use 4.15 for the CCR line until the TILE hardware goes EOL.
