That has a MOS 6502 core which was covered in the article.


...which can be seen nicely here:

The 6502 CPU is in the lower-right quadrant.

(and here for comparison the 6502 on its own: https://floooh.github.io/visual6502remix/)


IIRC, the rest of the die is the sound hardware.


And the empty upper right corner was a fabrication test structure; it's missing in the simulation because it was completely isolated from the rest of the chip. You can see it in the die shots here:
