It has some loose connections with the calculator architecture with its capability to handle a whole 64-bit register operation in one opcode, but has many distinctive capabilities and is less calculator-oriented with no dedicated register fields but a flexible 'multi-byte' mode.
I never found anything close. Did HP develop it from scratch ?

Check out the August 1980 HP Journal:
"A Custom LSI Approach to a personal computer"
I think "Custom" tells you what you need to know. 8^)
