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.
Zilog was created in 1974.

Zilog, known for its Z80 microprocessor, offers advantages such as a strong legacy in embedded systems, simplicity in design, and a robust ecosystem of development tools and libraries. However, its disadvantages include limited processing power compared to modern microcontrollers and microprocessors, as well as a decreasing relevance in today's rapidly evolving technology landscape, which often favors more advanced architectures. Additionally, finding support and resources for Zilog products may be more challenging as the industry shifts towards newer platforms.
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 .
