I recall being told this by a former apollow engineeer about early Apollo 
workstations that used the 68020.  Apollo planned on using the 68020 but when it 
became obvious that the 68020 was going to be late, they designed their own 
microcoded version that remained faster than the 68020 for a couple of years 
after it did become available.

Perhaps this is what you are thinking of.
