The first commercial 8-bit processor was the [[Intel 8008]] (1972) which was originally intended for the [[Datapoint 2200]] [[intelligent terminal]]. Most competitors to [[Intel]] started off with such character oriented 8-bit microprocessors. Modernized variants of these 8-bit machines are still one of the most common types of processor in embedded systems.

It, and variants of it, were used in a number of personal computers, such as the [[Apple I]] and the, [[Apple II series]], the [[Atari 8-bit computers]], the [[BBC Micro]], and the [[Commodore PET|PET]] and, [[VIC-20]], and in a number of[[home video game consoles,console]]s such as the [[Atari 2600]] and the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].
