On: 8088 microprocessor IP core fits in 308 LUTs, runs...

This is pretty cool, and should remind everyone that the 8088 and even the Zilog80 CPUs are still relevant and used to this day.

Z80? Yes. 8088? Eh, not really.

You may be confusing the 8088 CPU with the 8051 microcontroller, which is extremely common in embedded designs.

I "learned" assembler (and a lot about CPU/Computer architecture) reading my dads Z80 Microprocessor book. The 80's were cool!
