Yes, as other noted AMD used VLIW for terscale in the 2000-6000 series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeraScale_(microarchitecture)

They are used in a lot of DSP chips too, where you (hopefully) have very simple branching if any and nice data access patterns.

And typically just fast RAM everywhere instead of caches, so you don't have cache misses. (The flip side is that you typically have very _little_ RAM.)
