The 8080 ultimately led to the machine code-compatible, but more powerful clone Zilog [[Z80]], which was of course also used in the Amstrad [[CPC]] and Sinclair [[ZX Spectrum]] among others.
However, because Intel claimed a copyright on their assembly mnemonics, Zilog had to develop a new assembly syntax for the Z80 (e.g. the Z80 uses <tt>LD</tt> whereas the 8080 has <tt>MOV</tt> and several other commands).
