Just rumour to me, but circa 1980 when I was

with the spanky new 68000, I was told that the

as (literally) a large wall of SSI/MSI logic.
I believe that was true of the 6809. Somewhere there was published
an interview (BYTE, probably) with a member of the design team where
he mentions this.
Well, that article is/was on-line. I saw it one month ago.
Cheers,
