Intel 8080
<processor> The successor to the Intel 8008. The 8080 had a 16-bit
address bus and an 8-bit data bus. It had seven 8-bit registers (six which could
also be combined as three 16-bit registers), a 16-bit stack pointer to memory
which replaced the 8008's internal stack and a 16-bit program counter. It also
had 256 I/O ports (so I/O devices could be connected without needing to allocate
any addressing space as is required for memory mapped devices) and a signal pin
that allowed the stack to occupy a separate bank of memory.
Shortly after the 8080, the Motorola 6800 was introduced.
