Why was 8085 microprocessor introduced?

Answer Posted / Arjun Yadav

The Intel 8085 microprocessor was introduced in the mid-1970s as an update to the 8080 microprocessor. The primary reasons for its introduction were:
1. Increased Speed: The 8085 operated at a higher clock speed (6 MHz) compared to the 8080 (2 MHz), allowing for faster execution of instructions.
2. Improved Features: The 8085 included additional features such as built-in interrupt handling, memory addressing up to 64 KB, and direct memory access (DMA).
3. Reduced Cost: The 8085 was designed with a smaller number of transistors compared to the 8080, which reduced its cost and power consumption.
