 | | The 8080 was designed as an enhanced version of the 8008 (increased number of signal inputs and outputs, increasing of efficiency about ten times, only six peripheral chips needed, extended instruction set, N-Channel MOS technology). |
 | | Because of the potential of 17 V and the increased number of pins the speed of 8080 was much higher than the speed of the 8008. |
 | | The size of the silicon die on which the 8080 is etched had been reduced from one manufacturer to another (230 by 210 mils, or 48,300 square mils to 131 by 169 mils, or 22,139 square mils). |
