It looks like a tiny version of the 6502 is already available:

MESA, Arizona, April 30, 1999 - The Western Design Center, Inc. (WDC) and
Advance Reality Technology Inc., (ART), Hsin-Chu, Taiwan, announce that ART
has successfully produced W65C02STM silicon on TSMC's 0.5u process. This
effort resulted in a core size of 0.82mm2 after scaling WDC's original
GDSII layers and selectively biasing to match TSMC's targeted 0.45u rules.
WDC's original hard core design has now been successfully retargeted and
run at 1.2u, 0.8u, 0.6u, 0.5u (0.45u), and 0.35u by scaling and
selective-biasing. The voltage range of operation for the 0.5u core is 2.2V
to 3.3V with a range of power from 0.3mw/Mhz at 3.0V and 0.2mw/Mhz at 2.4V.
These cores have been verified with WDC's industry-standard test benches at
WDC's test laboratory on a Sentry 21 operating to 20 MHz.
MESA, Arizona, March 23, 1999 - The Western Design Center (WDC) and Novatek
Microelectronics Corp., (Novatek), Hsin-Chu, Taiwan, announced that Novatek
has successfully produced W65C02STM silicon on UMC Group's 0.35u process.
This effort resulted in a core size of 0.41 mm2 after scaling WDC's
original GDSII layers and selectively biasing to match UMC Group's targeted
0.35u rules. WDC's original hard core design has now been successfully
retargeted and run at 1.2u, 0.8u, 0.6u, 0.5u, and 0.35u by scaling and
selective-biasing. In 1998, Novatek scaled this same core design to UMC
Group's 0,5u process. The voltage range of operation for the 0.35u core is
1.5V to 5.25V with a range of power from 0.3 mw/MHz at 2V and 2.25 mw/MHz
at 5V. These cores have been verified with WDC's industry-standard test
benches at WDC's test laboratory on a Sentry 21 operating to 20MHz.
