I claim that "The cost remark is about the 8080 CPU, not the Altair, because the OP said "cost-optimized Intel 8080 IC." | |

| Aug 24, 2019 at 11:15 | comment | added | cjs | @Raffzahn I have difficulty with interpreting "cost-optimised Intel 8080 IC" as being "not [about] the 8080 CPU." (I am pretty sure that the "Intel 8080 IC" and the "8080 CPU" are the same thing.) Nonetheless, I look forward to your explication about how it would have been cheaper to design the 8800 to step through instructions rather than using the native "step through cycles" mode. | |
