I tend to trust the 4000 number more also........
Especially since the source article that gives 9000 transistors
for the 6502 has a few other flaws. most strikingly.....
...... naming the Z80 as the host of CP/M where that clearly should
have been the 8080. That the Z80 is downward compatible is
nice but the native CP/M assembler was an 8080 assembler not
a Z80 assembler.

While I don't know what the "real"
numbers are, I'm inclined to believe this
(4000) number, at least relative to the others just based on the internal
resources.
