Unless you have a very strange architecture, it doesn't make sense for an
interrupt to not be synchronous with the CPU clock. You are in the middle of
an add instruction, and now you want to start an interrupt. What does that
mean?
I expect there is the standard 2 FF synchronizer on all the input pins.
Things like the counter/timers run on the CPU clock, taking their input after
the synchronizer. I don't remember seeing a data sheet that comes out and
says that, but sometimes you can get some (strong?) hints with things like
minimum pulse widths or max clock rate.
