It's not all in the >name! No, no, no, no, no. Of COURSE the 8080 influenced the x86 instruction set. I'm just saying that the 8080 is not an x86. This is like saying the BMW 2002 was the first BMW 3-series. The BMW 2002 was the predecessor to the 3-series, it influenced the design of the 3-series, it was similar to the first 3-series in many ways, but it WAS NOT A 3-SERIES because its model number DID NOT START WITH 3.
