The naming of microprocessor indicates historical facts
blended with technology improvements.
1)The microprocessor came in the late 70s(1976).This was close
to 80.so from here 1ST TWO DIGITS were taken.
2)There are 8 bits in microprocessor.Hence the 3RD DIGIT
was tkaen as 8.
3)Before 8085,8086 the CPU of intel corporation was 8080A
which were requiring +5V,-5V and +12V for functioning.
With the advancement in technology, it was possible to run
the microprocessor with single +5V.Hence the LAST DIGIT
were taken as 5.
This was the hidden message behind 8085,
(year)(bits)(supply voltage)
80 8 5
