The '''Intel 8080''' was the first popular 8-bit microprocessor [[CPU]].  It was the successor to the 8008, which was the very first 8-bit microprocessor.  It was succeeded by the 8085, and then by 16-bit processors.  The [[Zilog Z-80]] had the 8080 instruction set as a subset of its own instruction set.

The chip supported hardware interrupts, 256 I/O ports, 64 Kb of memory, BCD and integer add/subtract, call/return, branching, logic operations, and shift/rotate.
