==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 was itself based on the CPU board , built out of dozens of TTL chips, of the Datapoint 2200 computer. [https://www.righto.com/2023/08/datapoint-to-8086.html Source]
Despite what its naming suggests, the Intel 8008 was developed independently of the [[Intel 4004]]. They were separate projects with distinct architectures and purposes, not a progression or derivative of one another.
