Best Answer

Intel, who developed the 8080, developed families of chips. The ancestor family of the 8080 was the 4004; part of the 4-bit MCS-4 family of chips - the 4001 being the ROM, 4002 RAM and so on and the 4004 being the CPU. The 8 bit version of the chip was named, naturally enough, 8008. The 8008 had a number of limitations; principally it's memory management was complicated and limited, these limitations were addressed in a new version which was named the 8080.

Is port no 80 and 8080 is same?

No, physically they are different numbers. Logically, however, both port 80 and port 8080 listen for HTTP traffic, so logically they are the same. Port 80 is the standard, production port for HTTP traffic. Port 8080 is a 'test' port for HTTP traffic.
