I guess i'm getting old.

 Not only do I remember the 4040 (the 4-bit predecssor to the 8080, but the Z-80, 6502, SC/MP and several other chips predating the 8080.

 I had computer systems with a little as 128 bits of memory and no non-volatile storage.

 Clock speeds were 1 MHz.

 Life was slow .......

 I enjoy my i7!
