The Zilog Z800 was a 16-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog and meant to be released in 1985. It was instruction compatible with their existing Z80, and differed primarily in having on-chip cache and a memory management unit (MMU) to provide a 16 MB address range. It also added a huge number of new more orthogonal instructions and addressing ...

The Zilog Z8000 is a 16-bit microprocessor architecture designed by Zilog and introduced in early 1979. Two chips were initially released, differing only in the width of the address bus; the Z8001 had a 23-bit bus while the Z8002 had a 16-bit bus.

Zilog, Inc. is an American manufacturer of microprocessors, microcontrollers, and application-specific embedded system-on-chip (SoC) products. The company was founded in 1974 by Federico Faggin and Ralph Ungermann , who were soon joined by Masatoshi Shima .

The Z8000 CPU series has been Zilog's contribution in the "Processor War" (i.e the competition between various 16-bit microprocessor designs during 1978-1985, before the Intel 80*86 family came out as the winner), and was introduced in 1979 between the 8086 CPU (Intel) and the 68000 CPU (Motorola).

The Zilog Z800 was a 16-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog to be released in 1985. It was instruction compatible with their existing Z80, and differed primarily in having on chip cache and MMU for a 16 MB address range, and also a huge number of new more orthogonal instructions and addressing modes.

Oct 15, 2010 · He formed a company called ZiLOG and developed a much improved version of the 8080 called the Z80. It was released in 1976 after only 18 months of design. The Z80 was faster, cheaper, and simpler to build around then the 8080 and enjoyed extremely wide use.

Apr 30, 2024 · Zilog’s attempts at 16- and 32-bit follow-on PC microprocessors in the 1980s—the Z800, Z8000, and Z80000—failed to succeed because of the entrenchment of Intel’s x86 architecture. Still, the Z80 soldiered on.

The Zilog Z800 was a 16-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog to be released in 1985. It was instruction compatible with their existing Z80, and differed primarily in having larger registers, being able to address more memory, and running at higher speeds.

Mar 22, 2021 · A 26-min history roundup and promo from Zilog with lots of feature details of their new offerings “…because you can’t build a skyscraper atop the foundations of a tract house…” “no one microprocessor can do everything” …
