Z8000 consists of sixteen 16-bit general purpose registers, which can be used for data, address and indexing. The designers of this machines felt that it was useful to provide a regularized, general set of registers than to save instruction bits by using special purpose registers. Further the way the functions are assigned to these registers is the responsibility of the programmer. There might be different functional breakdown for different applications.
A segmented address space 7-bit is used. It uses 7-bit segment number and a 16-bit offest. It uses two registers to hold a single address. There are two other registers called stack pointers that are necessary for stack module. One register used for system mode and one for normal mode.
Z8000 consists of five other registers that are related to program status. Two registers hold the program counter and two registers hold the address of a program status area in the memory. A 16-bit flag register called Flag control word holds various flags status and control bits.

What is the difference between intel 8085 and zilog Z80?
1.8085 has multiplexed data lines where as Z80 does'nt has multiplexed lines. 2.8085 operates at 3-5MHz clock freq,But clock frequency of Z80 is 4-20MHz. 3.8085 contains 74 instructions and Z80 has 158 instructions. 4.8085 has 5 interrupts but Z80 has only 2. 5.8085 has no index register but Z80 has 2. 6.8085 contains SIM & RIM instructions, but Z80 does'nt .

How many different CPU manufacturers are there?
There are many CPU manufacturers, both designer and second-source (manufacturer another company's design). Some example are: Intel AMD VIA Sun Microsystems Freescale IBM Zilog Toshiba NVIDIA
Can you have a list of companies manufacturing processors?
This is a list of companies who manufactured processors sometime or another. Some of these companies aren't manufacturing processors currently.Though Intel, and AMD has a huge market share of microprocessors required for home/personal computers, Zilog stays in the background. Zilog manufactures processors for other equipments like remote controls, microwave ovens, mobile phones, PDA's, and similar.PowerPC is a RISC architecture created by the 1991 Apple-IBM-Motorola alliance, known as AIM, from March 1994 until August 2006.The following list is in alphabetical order:1 AMD2 ARM3 Digital Equipment Corporation4 Elbrus5 Fairchild Semiconductor6 Freescale Semiconductor (former Motorola)7 Hewlett-Packard8 IBM9 Intel10 MIPS Technologies11 National Semiconductor12 NEC13 NXP (former Philips Semiconductors)14 SPARC15 Texas Instruments16 VIA17 Western Electric18 Zilog
