I’m juggling 3 reference books for a microprocessor course this semester. Have to study 8085 and 8086 microprocessors and interfacing them. Everything seems more interesting when exams are near I swear. I find this course genuinely interesting now

    @SidTheITGuy wtf is an 8085? Shouldn't it be 8088 and 8086?

    Huh, I guess 8085 is even older. Okay.

    @Demolishun yeah a simpler version, good for people who are genuinely interested in computer science and really want to get down to the processor's level..

    @SidTheITGuy the reason I was confused is that the 8088 is the 8086 with an 8 bit bus instead of 16 bit. There might be other differences though. So in the past I studied those 2 together.

    @Demolishun 8085 was the OG 8-bit microprocessor that kick started Intel’s dominance in the microprocessor industry

    @Shashashank the processor that sticks out for me is the 4004. IIRC it was first processor fast enough to do matrix calculations for the nozzles on the rockets used for space travel.

    @Demolishun whoa! I’m writing that down. I’m definitely looking into that after my exams

    @Shashashank I looked and looked and cannot find any reference to it. Kinda bummed as this is a neat part of the space program. So either I got the processor wrong, or it is hard to find. I remember reading that at least a decade ago.
