And thusly Hans Franke spake:
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
now we have to go thru all of this ...... it is one of
the never never ask questions, but no matter what point
you take it's always inbetween ... ok, I go for 8, 'cause
the 16 Bit instructions (*1) are only a subset, and the
data bus is 8 Bit. Now, when talking about 8 Bit CPUs,
then it's one of the most advanced.

(*1) Just judgeing by the existance of 16 Bit instructions,
even the 8080 would qualify as 16 Bit (yes, I know, the
real ALU size is also an argument, which declassifiies
the 8080 in any way.
So would the 65816 be included in this "list"?
