Best Answer

Yes, the 5200 was based around the 6502, one of the most famous 8-bit processors.

In fact, the 5200's internal hardware was almost identical to the Atari 400 and 800 ("8-bit family") computers. They made a few minor tweaks that meant games weren't directly compatible between the two, though.
