Its kind of funny, in a history panel of Intel they badically talk about how they lost this generation. The Z80 and 6502 were beating them almost everywhere. Logically IBM should have used the Z80 but they didn't most likely because Exxon was at that time trying to attack IBM and Exxon was a major investor in Zilog.
