hi all
i am little confused about memory addressing
the 8080 processor can address 64k but it can only process 1byte

so my first question is why address 64k while it only can process 1byte
|
while i was reading the writer said :
there is no relation between the number of address lines in a memory system and the size of the data stored at each location and still has 16 address lines??

how come ? i mean the processor put 8 bit in each time so how can it put more than 8bits in one location ???
|
and i have another question is there is any difference between memory addressing and processing
like i said before it can address 64k but it can process 8bit(1byte) ? so what is the difference ?
thanks in advance
