Comparing the Z80 and 6502 to Their Relatives

The Z80 is a binary-compatible upgrade of the 8080, with higher-level changes in instruction decoding and registers that broaden its capabilities while keeping some 8080 behavior. The article then contrasts the 8086 as a 16-bit successor with advanced memory segmentation and more flexible addressing, highlighting how it differs from the Z80's design. It also notes development toolkits for 8080 and 8086 and briefly discusses the 6800/6809 line and the 6502's place among these relatives.
