 However, as two different assembly syntaxes were used by Intel at the time, the 8080 could be used in an 8008 assembly-language backward-compatible fashion.The Intel 8085 was an electrically modernized version of the 8080 that used depletion-mode transistors and also added two new instructions.The Intel 8086, the original x86 processor, was a non-strict extension of the 8080, so it loosely resembled the original Datapoint 2200 design as well.
