It was integrated in early home computers like the [[Altair 8800]], the [[Hector|Interact Home Computer]], the [[DAI Personal Computer]], and arcade systems like the [https://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=629 Taito 8080] and [https://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=594 Midway 8080].

==Technology==
NMOS became the standard microprocessor technology until the rise of CMOS in the 1980s, combining NMOS and PMOS to dramatically reduce power consumption.
<br>
==Compatibility==
[[CP/M]] required an 8080, 8085 or Z80 CPU and between 1976 and about 1983, microcomputers with a Z80 that ran CP/M were the norm before the market shifted to MS-DOS.
