I recall being told this by a former apollow engineeer about early Apollo

microcoded version that remained faster than the 68020 for a couple of years
after it did become available.
Perhaps this is what you are thinking of.
Besides the Lilith Modula-2 workstation, what
other computers were
made from the AMD 29xx bit-slice architecture?
There was a company (forget the name and product (eagle?)), which was
selling a board with an mc68000 emulated by am2903. Was faster than the
original.
