/* History */
==History==
The 8080 is often said to be the "first truly usable microprocessor". This CPU was is 10 times faster than its predecessor, the [[Intel 8008]] issued in 1972.
The 8008 had, among other limitations, 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]
