How many transistors in the 6502 processor?

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.
