I don't quite see how the price of a chip determines the correct
answer.  You might also look at chapter 5 (section 5.1) of the
1975 MOS Technology manual where it is explicitly noted that
the 6502 does pipeline.

You might be refering to Marvin DeJong's "Programming & Interfacing
the 6502"  (1980, Sams & Co., ISBN 0-672-21651-5) or to
Rodnay Zaks "Programming the 6502"  (1978, Sybex, ISBN 0-89588-046-6).
I found the DeJong book to be more informative.

Let us now return from the past into TODAY :-)
