Make a list A: 6809 B: 8086
See Answer:
That is not quite fair for Intel since the 6809 came out after
the 8086. The problem is you have a 16 bit design crippled
so you can be 8080A software comptable.
My personal bias is the pre-fetch buffer, you never know just
what speed your cpu is running at. I find both the Z80 and
8086 not clean as they tweek the 8080A instruction set to something
that is almost usefull.
