==History==
The 8080 is often said to be the "first truly usable microprocessor". Its predecessor, the first 8-bit microprocessor [[Intel 8008]], had a rigid seven-level address call stack instead of a flexible Stack Pointer. The 8008 instruction set is itself based on the CPU board of the Datapoint 2200 computer. Despite what its naming suggests, the Intel 8008 is totally unrelated to the [[Intel 4004]].
Fun fact: the microprocessor isn't really an invention, but rather something that everyone knew would happen, and it was just a matter of waiting for the technology and market to be correct.
