the cpu's memory addressing

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

Quote:
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??

Quote:
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
